I'm a bit nervous today... I am going to my first workshop with the Restless Dance Company (www.restlessdance.org), a leading youth dance company bringing together young people with and without disabilities.

I am going to be a participant in a 10-week series of contemporary dance workshops called "Swivel". I haven't done any kind of "proper" dancing before, although I have always wanted to, so this is going to be an interesting challenge (albeit nerve-wracking!).

Remember the philosophical song "Wear Sunscreen" from the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's film "Romeo and Juliet"? One of the lines (of the many) says: "Do one thing everyday that scares you." I think going to this dance workshop tonight qualifies for me!

I know that my nervousness will be all unjustified once I'm there and enjoying myself, but in the meantime, I'm still wondering where that confidence went that I had when I signed up for the workshop series...

Wish me luck!
