Should i go less to the social?
I've been dancing Bachata for half a year and recently started going to socials. However, I've found myself experiencing more and more stress during these events.
At first when I went to socials, I usually went with my friends or classmates, and I had no expectations for myself, so I would just go to watch others dance and occasionally join in if a song I liked came on. If I feel overwhelmed, I will just go back to my classmate and then dance with them and find some confidence for myself because they are nice. I love Bachata music and the vibe of some social dancing, so some nights I felt really good.
But now I've started attending different socials on Saturdays, Fridays, and even weekdays. The reason is because when I am not dancing for a few days, then I just start to lose the feeling. I'm not only going with friends but also trying to go by myself. This has started to make me feel a lot of pressure. Sometimes I don't recognize the song, so I don't know how to dance, so I can just look into the follower and don't know what to do. Also, nobody wants to dance with me when I go to a new place because they usually dance with people they know. Sometimes I run through all the combos I know and then don't know what to dance to after a few songs...
Should I just reduce my social attendance and focus on classes instead? My classmates are at a similar level, and at least we know each other. Sometimes I feel like I dance like shit and then just want to go back home early.
