pc,
I am so proud of you for going!!! I think that is a MAJOR step! Like you, I love dancing. There is nothing I would rather do. It builds my self confidence, keeps me in realtively good shape, and makes me new friends.
I propose that the longer you stick this class out, the more you will relax, and you will eventually rediscover the old dancer pc. It's been awhile since you've danced, right?
I used to avoid looking at myself in the mirrors too. But you know what? The more I was exposed to myself and was forced to look at myself in the mirroor, the more I was inclined to start looking at the positive things my body could DO, and not the what it looked like. It feels like being 6 years old again, loving my body not becuase if what it looked like, but that I could do cannonballs in the pool and bike all over the neighborhood. I didn't care what it LOOKED like. I loved it for waht it could do. I have finally gotten back to that point now, simply, I believe, by spending hours watching myself dance.
