very true i get scared to dance in public, i do dance but not to the fullest i know i can when i am at home. Career too and other things

[@gurpreetchoongh1365]

Yeah... Its hard because you miss SO many good chances because of yp8r lack of confidence and because sometimes you think you wernt good enough for it anyways like you'll mess up.... And you end up hating your self because you didn't have the guts...But then you think that maybe it was for the best even though it hurt... Alot...And sometimes it makes you emotional.. because everything you went through...

[@angelhuntress21]

I've never been confident (at least, not to the level of Ashly at the end of this video)...I mean, I am a little bit more confident now than I was growing up but I've always had MAJOR self-esteem/self-confidence issues and am very shy...I've also been wanting to take dance lessons for ages but either I can't afford it or it clashes with my work schedule.

[@nivedha3386]

@@angelhuntress21 Dude whoever you are, I hope you reach your goal and your confidence blooms like a QUEEN cause I have a feeling YOU DESERVE IT!!! But whatever happens you happiness comes first, but also be KIND! Always BE Happy

[@godlyfish]

Yes you can. Confidence is gained different ways for different people. I know that it may be difficult to something you want to all because of self-consciousness. Let yourself figure out what makes you happy.

[@sofiagrover636]

jazz lin I'm a dancer, and believe me when I say this, I felt the same way. I finally pushed away my fear and decided to do it. At first, I felt awkward. But now I've been doing it for 5 years and honestly I can shake my body so much in front of limitless people. I think you should do what I did

2021 and just seen this video. I love how supportive and nice everyone is when someone doesn't know how to dance. This was mainly about her self confidence and she definitely found it. She did awesome!

[@stellarose611]

As much as I'm EXTREMELY impressed with Ashly and how hard she tried and how well she did I'm also really impressed with the teachers! I mean I don't think many teachers could make someone who knows next to nothing about dance into someone performing a what seemed like flawless routine! Props to all involved for sure!

As a dancer watching you thrive was absolutely amazing! I cried seeing the final performance as you having an impeccable amount of courage and confidence compared to day one made my heart so warm! You looked hot! Congrats on building more love for yourself and the fact that it was through dance is so wonderful to see

[@neko5287]

Really glad I'm not the only one who cried at the end!

[@merryllindewi7867]

Same me too I was very proud since how hard she worked and thrived . I myself have been dancing for the pass 7 years both hip hop and ballet and it's definitely not easy and to see her do that at the end is truly amazing

[@erica7565]

the fact that she didn't like her body was insane because throughout the entire vid I couldn't stop thinking about how nice of a body she has.

[@veronicameeks9056]

Watching this video is really interesting to see how we are all going through different journeys. I grew up dancing and being told how to look pretty/ cute and then sexy with what shoes and clothes to wear to accentuate feminine features. I went through the opposite problem with feeling over sexualized and having everyone look at me in that way but just wanting to be seen as the fun/ goofy person. I’m happy to see she got what she wanted out of this. Dancing can be a great way for expression but I will take the well balanced high top sneakers and hard beat moves any day over the club grinding music and “sexy” bunion causing heals. =P

So, my grandma for 2 yrs was trying to convince me to go learn how to dance, but I declined every time. Even my mom tried to teach me while listening to the radio. I always ran away because I was so awkward with my movements. A couple days ago I watched this video and I decided to go take some dance classes. Tomorrow will be my first legit time when I will dance thanks to you. Wish me luck ^^

I don't know if someone from buzzfeed is actually gonna read this but I just want to say thank you for those couple of videos about body confidence. Like this one and the Ladylike Pole Dancing one are just wonderful because they are about being happy with yourself and there is no talk of body type or anything. It just proves that beauty is really on the inside. Thank you and please keep them coming !
