Don't worry about it. That's awesome advice. If you picked a entry to get to know me really fast, this was it.
The problem was not some much lack of dancing skill (though I am very new at it),or mistrust of people I dance with (you'll hear about the Flying Dutchman a lot, he's a good friend, he drives me crazy, but I'd trust him with my life) but a generally feeling that because I spent so much of high school trying to convince teachers that I was good enough to take on crazy course work (I did International Baccalaureate, with is like AP on crack), that I know have a tendency to feel like a failure if I don't get something right first. In a sense I am having to relearn how to learn.
