out of shape. (diabetic and overweight)

I've always been clumsy, always had poor coordination skills when it comes to doing something physical.

If you get more fit, it would probably help you alot. It depends HOW overweight you are.
If you want to get in shape, you really like ballet, and think it would be fun...go for it. Just be patient with yourself.
Go for it and never give up! it doesn't matter how overweight you are or how not into dancing you have been in the past. what matters is that you want to do it. don't be embarrassed and keep your head up. if you want to do ballet, do ballet, if you want to do bungee jumping do that. if it gives you satisfaction and you fell good with yourself while you're doing it, that is all that matters!!!

let us know how it goes. good luck!
yeah, ballet woud definitly help you! It'll improve your coordination and balance and, although you may not see improvement in your weight right way, it will come Good luck, and have fun!!
i somehow doubt it. sorry...that probably isn't the answer you wanted to hear. u need to get into better physical shape first. try jogging or joining a gym.
I really think ballet would work for you.

Many dancers I know used to be clumsy before taking ballet, but now they are some of the best coordinated ppl I have ever met.

Also, it doesn't matter if you're overweight. A few years back in my ballet class, I had an obese girl in the class. She was still amazing at dancing! Just check out dance studios in your area for adult classes.
I say dont get into it if you feel you are TO overweight and i diffently say that ballet can be very hard maybe a lot harder than ppl think and if you wanna do it ( even thinking about ur circumstances you have listed) then you should practice your corrdination and skills like the cloumsyness first b4 you get into it , be more fit and it could come naturaly , but u gotta get there first , so dont give up!!
