Yea, kinda, sorta (in my case). Not so much about preconceptions and perceptions - I exist to smash those!
But it *is* harder for guys methinks - Tarik just agreed it was for him, and it was for me too. In my case, was it because of cultural conditioning - however much I fight that; or was it because males are naturally more reserved?
I haven't a clue.
Either way, even after I "got over" my fear about emoting on stage (and its something I still have to work on - I think every performer does to some extent) - learning *HOW* to emote in the context of my dancing; Ah, there's the rub! Its something that is just starting to work for me, and it is really a cool journey of discovery - a journey I'll probably be on for the rest of my life!
