Ballet/Ballet Training

Question
I am 18 and starting beginner's ballet in the fall.  I have never danced ballet before but have always wanted to learn.  I'm not the most graceful person (the only sports I've ever played were baseball and wrestling), and have no experience in dance.  I wanted to start a bit of training over the summer so I don't make a fool of myself in my first class!  Is there anything you suggest?

Thanks for your help!

Answer
Hi Brittney,

No worries, you will not make a fool of yourself because you are a beginner, everybody's been a beginner one day.

'till you start, read informations and documentations about ballet, understand what ballet is and is not
