[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I studied dance for years as a kid. But I was in high school before I was comfortable dancing at a school dance. Dancing at a dance requires self-confidence, comfort with your body, and a sense of connection to the music. It doesn't even require that much of a sense of rhythm, as long as you don't care how well you dance. I know plenty of people with no sense of rhythm who still dance at parties and clubs, because they enjoy themselves, and don't care about or even think about, how their dancing looks to other people.
If your daughter was comfortable doing martial arts moves, the issue is probably more one of familiarity, and feeling connected to music. so play more music around the house, dance around the house with her. Normalize it. Don't send her off to classes to try and fix her. [/quote]
This poster is spot on.  The good dancers at clubs and parties don't give a crap what people think and let themselves go. So the best thing is to not make her self conscious.
My 11 year old has done dance lessons for five years.  She is still super awkward.  It's the age and part of the charm. [/quote]
