Questions and Answers


I've always dreamed of being a dancer but I'm afraid people will laugh at my limited skills. How do I go about finding a place where I'll feel comfortable?

— Not sure I Have Rhythm

Not only is this a great question-- lots of people feel this way.
 
After you have done your research-- used our search engine, asked people you know, etc., pay a visit to the places you think are possibilities.  Spend a little time with the director or person who manages the classes they offer.
 
In a polite, sincere way ask the question you've just put to me.   Then listen to two things:  what you are told and how you feel about it.   Feeling comfortable in a learning setting is criterion #1 as far I'm concerned, and the way to anticipate that is via the information you receive AND your intuition.
