Thinking about taking ballet?

Do it! It will definitely help you get into shape! Also, you shouldn't be self-conscious about wearing a leotard. Dancers come in all shapes and sizes and you shouldn't let that stop you from trying something new. Ballet makes me feel accomplished and is a great release. I hope that it does the same for you (: It is really a beautiful art and I think that you should go for it head on! :D Good luck!
