Sweetie just be yourself. Just act like you are in your own world not a care in the world. Just free yourself. I was like that all through jr and high school. Then I learned Im me no one can change that... And then the dancing began :). Act like you are the only person in the room :) good luck

It's just like anything else. At first it seems awkward and uncomfortable, but the more you do it, the better you become at it and enjoy it more and more. All girls your age are a little shy and some are real shy. There are atleast two other people in the same party that feel like you do, so you're not the only one. Nobody is sitting around thinking, oh she looks awkward and weird because they are all thinking about everyone is looking at them. A dance class would build your self-confidence and make you feel more comfortable around people, so it wouldn't hurt to check it out.

It is hard to "let go" when you are shy. I was super shy and I would Never do that either. I have since taken dance lessons as an adult which helped boost my self confidence. Ask some of your friends that you trust to teach you to dance. I am sure they have had the same insecurities as we both have had when they started out dancing.
Try feeling the music and move to the music. Don't laugh at others if they look silly, because they are just having fun. If others laugh, tell them you admire their ability to "just have fun", with no cares.
Start with your friends, as you should be able to trust them. Have fun and try not to care what others think about what you are doing, they are probably actually thinking the same thing.

I remember when I was at my first jr.high dance, and everyone made fun of me because I "danced like a chicken". It was so embarrassing. I used to sit on the benches and just watch everyone else who was older. When a good song came on I could run out and just let loose and dance. I used to watch videos too and dance around in my room. After a while it's just all fun and nobody cares how you dance. We acted totally stupid while we were dancing and it was a laugh for all of us! Just get in the groove and sing and dance your butt off! You don't have to be a Madonna or Janet Jackson type dancer. Just get out there and have fun!

Girl i am the same way!! im 14 also, and i used to be REALLY like "does she talk" shy. i still am, but i am just more understanding that what do you have to loose, i have friends that love me and no one else really matters!! i for one do not like to dance in front of other people, and there is nothing wrong with that, we just arent as attention seeking and noticable as some other people. just remember that no everyone is NOT watching you. If you think about it are YOU watching one particualar person? : ) good luck

Don't be afraid to come out of your shell! Show the world who you are! Remember to always be confident an be strong! Develop more social interests and you'll be on your way to a shy-free world!
