And you end up hating your self because you didn't have the guts...But then you think that maybe it was for the best even though it hurt...

    Watching this video is really interesting to see how we are all going through different journeys. I grew up dancing and being told how to look pretty/ cute and then sexy with what shoes and clothes to wear to accentuate feminine features. I went through the opposite problem with feeling over sexualized and having everyone look at me in that way but just wanting to be seen as the fun/ goofy person. I’m happy to see she got what she wanted out of this. Dancing can be a great way for expression but I will take the well balanced high top sneakers and hard beat moves any day over the club grinding music and “sexy” bunion causing heals. =P

    "My body wasn't a joke"
    I felt it so much
    I used to take dance classes for 5 years and I loved dancing, till one time that I danced in front of my classmates and they made fun of me, I stopped dancing and today I miss it so much.
    Don't let anybody make fun of what you love.
    (Sorry for my bad English)
    Edit- thank you so so much everyone 🥺❤️ gained my confidence back thanks to you guys 💕
    And Remember, the only way to dance right is to have fun.

That freedom in doing something you love and enjoy, and then getting cheered for it is what performers live for - as well as making people feel something.. People love it when you live out loud, even if they never say it to your face! Props girl, u major inspo!

    This video is so old but I just found it now while binge watching a bunch of dance choreography videos. I’ve been wanting to dance or do something “productive” for a while but always thought I was to awkward and that it’s so late. I lacked so much self confidence and I absolutely hated my body. I still have the same problem but after watching this I feel like it’s never to late. It’s given me the motivation to go do something like take hip hop dance classes, take Zumba classes or even just exercise.

One of my dreams is to become a dancer too, coz my heart really beats so fast whenever I dance and see myself in front of the mirror. I'm just too scared to show it publicly. I have this kind of feeling and really it kills me and makes me regret I didn't do what I wanted. :(

    OMG I totally relate to everything you said. I have always been terrified of dancing. I’m so painfully self conscious and in my head that I completely don’t know how to be in my body. I was a tall girl and developed young. I was also incredibly shy and awkward.
    Martial arts did help build some self confidence and give me spatial awareness but I think dance is probably a level above that. Thank you for helping us awkward gals feel less alone.
