About This Article
Being shy when you dance is totally normal, but you can develop your confidence so you can dance without worrying what other people think. Remember that other people won't be paying much attention to you while you're dancing since they'll be busy dancing themselves. There's no right or wrong way to dance, and as long as you look like you're having fun, no one will think twice. Try practicing dancing in front of a mirror so you can get more comfortable with how your body moves. Just throw on some music and let yourself get lost in the beat. Practicing by yourself might feel weird at first, but if you're comfortable dancing alone, it will be much easier to dance when you're out in public. To learn how to stop worrying about what other people think, keep reading!
