Good day! i am 5'2" tall and weigh only 86 pounds T_T and i really want to try latin and modern dances since high school (now i'm a college student). i really love watching dancesport competitions. i'm always in awe whenever i watch them dance.

we have dancesport competition in our school this coming september.

my problem is that i'm skinny and i don't have any background joining in dancesport competitions. my classmates also encourage me to try joining it but i fear that i can't execute well the dance steps/routine.

is it still possible for me to join the competition?

thank you!

You won't know until you try. It won't be easy but it will be fun. Being skinny is a good thing and not having a dancesport background means you won't have any bad habits. Go for it with the same positive attitude you entered college with. No one will expect perfection.

huhuhuhu thank you!!! if i join the competition, today will be my first training/practice.

and i also have a problem with my hands because my fingers are quite stiff or tight

Until and unless you won't try this you will think its too hard. Just go with the flow and do it. And I am sure you will do it well. your conscious mind stopping limiting you to do that, Just go and do it.

Before you decide that you're too skinny, look at the female competitors on "So You Think You Can Dance." Your physique could be an advantage. You can move (and respond to your partner's lead) more easily. And you prepare for dancesport competitions the same way you make the football team (and the way you get to Carnegie Hall): practice.
