Please do not apologize for your questions. How can they be stupid?If you don't know something, the only way you're ever going tolearn is to find out, either by being told or by going to someplace where the information can be found.
Ignorance and stupidity are not the same thing. Ignorance can becured; stupidity can't. We aren't all stupid (I like to think I'mnot stupid at all...quiet out there!...who said that?...no smart-ass remarks!!) but we were all ignorant about ballet once.

Well, you should be able to rely on me, Balletboy, Dr Dancebelt, &others here who have shown themselves willing to offer help. Youcan also consult the ballet-modern FAQ on my Web site (shameless self-advertisement!).
And if you aren't taking classes, you should try. You will learnthings in class that none of us can tell you. Confidence? No, notnecessary; what you will need, however, is sheer dogged persistence.
