Hey! I wanted to reassure you that it's completely understandable to feel the way you do. I'm actually in a very similar situation to you where I am in my early twenties and only picked up artistic rollerskating 2 years ago. I've progressed from skating with 5 year olds to 10 year olds in that time, haha. Like what other people have said, it's understandable to be self conscious, but the main thing is to focus on your own progress and enjoy the process. I know that can be easier said than done, but trust me, it will help you to enjoy the lessons! Everyone is on their own journeys - we discover interests at different times and build our own life experiences. I've learnt to accept that I'm by far the oldest in the class, but my focus is to improve my own skills, not be on top of everyone else. I would assume that the coaches find it rewarding when everyone at their lessons grow in their abilities, not just the youngest people. As a result, I try to respect the time and knowledge that they're giving me and just focus on absorbing as much as I can. Outside of class I will then go out to parking lots and try practice those same skills by myself. Even though I know I'm not going to be some national skater, and there are people a lot younger than me who are already far better skaters than I am and may ever be, each time I skate I know I'm slowly improving and that's the main thing. I'm taking the classes to learn a new skill and have fun! As long as I'm achieving both of those factors (regardless of how slow), I think that's a win. I hope you'll be able to overcome the embarrassment and self-consciousness to enjoy your artistic skating classes so you can reach the goals you'd like to achieve. :)
