Where to start the journey?

I wanted to get into sculpting with clay as a hobby, so I bought some Monster Clay a while ago. Today I finally had some time to give it a try and sculpted a few faces just to see whether I’d enjoy it. Turns out, I do! (My bf finds them very creepy though 😄)
So, where do I go from here? Are there any recommended exercises or good ways to practice as a beginner? My instinct would be to study the planes of the human face and then try sculpting some larger faces or individual body parts.
Does that sound like a good approach, or are there other exercises you’d recommend?

Hip hop is so hard to get into. Any advice?

I started to get into hip hop with no classes around and relying on YouTube.

I am a terrible autodidact though. And old. I have a hard time getting into the groove. The bounce already feels so unnatural and sluggish to me (it feels like the opposite my body wants to move - coming from shuffle dance which feels so light footed in comparison). All the beginner videos either teach you a choreo - which is way beyond my capabilities struggling with bouncing and rocking already - or certain (party) moves.

How do I go from here. Do I keep bouncing to songs until I get used to the movement? Do I try to learn a choreo (which would take me some time honestly. Stepping while bouncing to the beat already challenges me) incorporating the foundations in the process? Do I learn some moves/steps before getting the hang of the foundational stuff? I feel like this makes me prone to incorrect patterns.

With shuffling you learned the running man and the t-step and were already good to go and it felt like dancing while learning new steps or managing microbouncing on the way.

What I’m doing right now doesn’t really feel that way.

Any guidance towards a reasonable approach would be highly appreciated!
