It'll be great!
Just remember that you're doing this for yourself.
Goodluck :)

I lost about 20 pounds with ballet when I took it. Got from 210 to 190-ish in 9 months. It was cardio intensive, and I'm not sure how your class will work, but any activity is good. Keep with it, eat healthy, and you'll be at your goal weight eventually. And don't worry about everyone being smaller than you, if that's a factor -- there was a girl in my class at about 300 pounds, and I think she lost even more weight than I did.
