Haven't taken dance since I was 14, my first year of pointe, and my parents pulled me out cause the performance conflicted with our family vacation... so 17 years ago. Just signed up for an adult beginner ballet class with one of #3s teachers starting in September. Why do I feel like I'm gonna end up looking like this?

Doesn't help that dancewear sizing is dumb af, so my 5'8" 130lb self is like a 2xl in leotard/skirt/tights
that definitely felt like a punch to the gut lol. Also feeling super selfish for doing something strictly for myself but I barely leave the house and this is basically all of the socialization I get so yeah, isolation has really been fucking with me lately. Also figure that an hour of exercise a week is probably going to do me more good than none at all. Idk, just feeling selfish and dumb and like I'm gonna make an absolute fool of myself.
