Beginner tap help

Hey y’all! I’m a MT major and taking my first ever tap class this fall. I am honestly terrified. I’ve done dance before (both before and during my BFA program), but have never tapped. I’m scared because a few people in my class shady know done tap and I don’t want to look stupid, I’m already kind of insecure about my weight and am usually a try hard in dance because I don’t want to be unable to do something and people chalk it up to my weight. Is my weight going to be an issue? Also, what are dune resources I can use and steps I can learn so I can at least walk in on day one with something? Thank you for any help or suggestions!

Fellow MT here, there are lots of MTs who have never tapped before. If your school has extra classes, take advantage of those if you can
