Performing in front of others helps overcome shyness
Taking dance lessons means you’ll have to get used to the idea of dancing around other people, be it your dance instructor, your dance partner, or the other students attending the classes. This will help push you out of your comfort zone and teach you how to be more comfortable with your body.
As you boost your dancing skills, your confidence grows, and at some point when you’re feeling ready for it, you may start performing in front of the audience. Whether you have stage fright or feel shy and awkward in front of others, once you start performing in front of others, it will all go away and as time passes, you’ll be able to shake off your shyness and shine.
