I get really embarresed in classes because my teacher started to bring up Ballroom Dancing because now, I'm the only kid in my class that enjoys Ballroom Dancing.
I'm really not sure how to get out of this. Everyone laughs at me because they think I'm joking when I say I do Ballroom Dancing.
I'm really not sure what to do so could someone please give me some advice

Laugh it off with them. Find a way to make a joke. Once others see that it doesn't bother you, they will move on.

Ugg the pressures of schoolroom nonsense.

I would also suggest you laugh with them then say, yes most people think ballroom dancers are stuck in a cotillion age or in the Laurence Whelk error (Great Grandma and Great Granddad's type dancing). In reality, to do it well you need to have the flexibility of and strength of a gymnasts and the stamina of a track runner. The Latin/Rhythm section of ballroom dancing - we dance to current Rock and Roll songs. Ask if they ever watch Dancing With The Stars?

Sure anyone can free style or wiggle dance. BUT who can hit the floor to do a hot salsa or cha cha then slide into a smooth West Coast Swing...THAT is the person everyone will be watching and the person who continues to have fun on the dance floor.

If you social dance invite anyone who is brave enough to check out what your talking about. Just remind them....NO guts NO glory!

Keep it up kiddo, don't cave to the pressures of the uneducated! YOu have what most of us on this board would like to have back - youthful energy and stamina!
Keep on DANCING!

If they weren't making fun of your dancing they would be making fun of something else. They are making fun of you because they can't do it and don't want anyone to be able to do things they can't. I teach ballroom in all sorts of high schools and the kids who are obnoxious are the ones who suck and don't want anyone else to know that they can't dance and it makes them feel stupid. Ignore them and don't let them steal something as awesome as this from you.
