How do I cope with gender dysphoria with dancing?

0

I’ve got prom in two weeks. I’m a trans man, getting close to a year post-op, over two years on hormones, but of course I still get dysphoria. I used to be just fine with dancing, but recently it’s been making my dysphoria pretty bad. However, I really don’t want to let it ruin my or my girlfriend’s prom. I’m bringing my camera to the pictures for comfort so I don’t panic ahead of time. Once I get to the dance, I have a friend who knows me well who’s keeping an eye on me and has no problem with walking out and sitting down somewhere if I need to take a break. Is there anything else I can do ahead of time to help me prep myself and make myself more comfortable? I was thinking possibly dance lessons with a friend or my gf?
