What can a newbie do to not look awkward when trying to hiphop dance? Or any

[Hello!]

kind of dance? Ive never danced before and I get nervous easily. However, I have to do it for school marks. Id like to hear some tips from great dancers out there.

i started taking a hip hop class this year and it was really weird since the only other classes i have taken before are ones like ballet which require a certain "form" with hip hop you can basically do whatever you want. there are no restrictions. you can just let loose. my advice would be to feel the music. feel the beat. you know when you hear your favorite song and you just feel the beat inside you? it just makes you want to get up and move. just go with it. feel the beat inside you. let it move you so to speak. you might feel a little stupid at first but you just have to learn how to let go. and dance like no one is watching. i know it is hard, trust me, i am a shy person. but i just close my eyes, and let the song move me. its that easy. hope this helps! hip hop is a lot of fun. go all out.
