Its like anything else, if you want to do it, just start. Take that first step and stop worrying so much about not doing it just right.

It really depends on what you feel inside and what makes you want to move and dance. By the way, there are different kinds of hip hop dances. Some are too masculine, close to break dancing while some are feminine and some are sexy. I tried a hip hop class before and when I watched the video of my "recital", I looked like a moron because the moves were not me at all. Observe a class first and see if you can imagine yourself executing the moves with rhythm and perhaps even with passion. I'm really slow at remembering steps but with practice, not only are the steps easy to remember, but they also appear more fluid and feel more natural due to muscle memory. Enjoy your dance class!
