Question
Im really like nervous to go to tumbling classes because im so shy. do you have any advice?

Answer
Don't be nervous! Everyone in your tumbling class is in the same boat as you and everyone is there for the same thing- to learn to tumble! I have never been to a tumbling class where anyone has been mean or snobby, everyone that I have met there is either rooting for you and encouraging you, or they simply worry about themselves and their own tumbling. As you continue to go, you will naturally get to know some of the "regulars" in the class, and your shyness will gradually begin to fade around these people. In the mean time, just concentrate on your tumbling, relax, and be yourself. If anyone compliments or gives you some advice, just smile and say thanks, no one is there to be mean. In fact, I've met some really great friends at tumbling! Just relax and remember no one is judging you, everyone is on your level and eager to gain skills just like you. I hope my advice helps!
