Pick a dance that you ENJOY!!! If you don't enjoy it all you will be concerned with are the steps and there will be no feeling to it. If you can practice in front of a mirror -- I was in dance for years, and watching yourself in a mirror helps you see what others see.
As for the confidence -- If your PE teacher criticizes you, take it in stride. through out your ENTIRE life you are going to have people who insist on criticizing you and some is positive and some is not. Take it, smile, nod accept and it and realize your life will not end. don't take it to heart if it hurts you -- all it is, is an opinion. It's more than normal to feel embarrassed, but try to just let go and have fun with it.
Good luck - it's just PE -- do what you need for the grade and move on :-)

Maybe don't let it look like she has made you uncomfortable. Don't over react and try to be intentionally bad to try to cover it. But also don't worry about being too good either. Not everyone can dance and maybe just trying in PE class isn't that big of a problem. I think the biggest thing is don't over react. Just go with what you can and figure that there are others who are covering how they feel too.

Practice, tell yourself that you ARE confident, and just do it! I am in my senior year of high school and I just started taking dance. I don't know a thing, and I am just gonna have to jump in there and wing it bc they are already half way through the routines! I am never confident, and always shy. But that is about to change. I am gonna make it change! And you should too. Don't worry about it and just know that you CAN succeed. One of my teachers always says "It all depends on how well you try as to how well you succeed."

You should tell yourself that you will be your own judge from now on, as far as dancing goes. It sounds like your PE instructor knows how to discourage people and doesn't really know how to encourage them. Her her be. You can't change her. Prepare to think "lalalala" when it's her time to talk. After that, silently give yourself your own criticism.
I know that it is unpleasant that other people will hear what she says about your dancing. But you know what? You might remember it because it hurts, but they will forget it two hours later. When it happened to me and I tried talking to my friend about stuff that teacher said about me one day ago, my friend was like "what are you talking about?"

in the previous i provide my mantra, permit me clarify self belief. self belief is purely a state of ideas, a theory. those with self belief, are advantageous because of the fact they have the two reason to, or are better actors than you're. how do you be attentive to whilst somebody is advantageous? for a initiate, they stroll tall, they communicate without falter. they are not afraid to look you interior the attention. they provide a company handshake. they might, in some severe situations, have large genitalia. yet do not panic, you may stroll tall by using purely employing better posture, you may communicate without falter by using speaking slower, giving you time to maintain up with your be conscious, you may seem human beings interior the attention by using finding at their eyebrows, and you will be able to provide a company handshake by using giving a company handshake. as for the penis, get solid at fingering ;) now, on your mantra. i'm advantageous say it as quickly as, then say it returned with a thinking tone, and then as quickly as greater with a tone that announces 'specific, i'm advantageous! as in case you have located an exclamation mark on the top of it. it doesn;'t must be loud, purely employing the tone of your voice. you may fairly say something. self belief isn't approximately what you're saying, it fairly is approximately how. the non-verbal communications. purchase a e book on non-verbal communications, and study it, see what makes self belief etc. i urge you!

i would practice, practice, practice. and what does your PE teacher really know about dancing? show him/her up when you groove away. ignore the crititism. laugh it off. your peers will laugh with you, not at you. have a good attitude about it, and shrug off all negative thoughts. negativity leads to being nervous and a bad environment. you will glow when you realize your awesome.
