Dance

I have respect for anyone who loves dance and does it often/well.

I seem to have no natural sense of rhythm. ie. a group aerobic class done to music, is a disastrous experience for me. It is not exercise to me, it is worrying about staying in sych with rest of class!

Rhythm can be learned, shootingstar--honest, it can. You just need a good teacher who likes working with beginners. I used to teach beginning adult ballet and it was a ton of fun.

I am convinced that anyone can learn to dance given a good teacher who likes teaching. I bet uforgot would second this.

Listen, if I can get 5 year olds to do it (It's really too young) ANYONE can do it. Quit worrying and just enjoy yourself. That's what I tell my students. I think that's the secret with the little ones. They don't care who is watching or what their neighbor is doing, they are just having a great time. Like biking, you train, you ride hills, you become disciplined, but you love it, right? If you have to walk a hill, who cares? Lose yourself in the music. Dance is all about expressing feelings without words. If you still aren't comfortable in a class, just turn up the music at home, or as Salsabike says, you may need a different teacher, or maybe even another kind of dance.
