Child's shyness

Hi there I really need some advice please!
I have a 4 year old who is extremely shy. I had put her in a daycare and she did not make friends for a month, lucky I was able to get her back to her old daycare where she felt comfortable. Recently she asked to go to ballet and tap lessons and when we got to the classes she was so shy and scared to participate we ended up leaving. Also we go to the playground frequently and she will come back crying, saying no one wants to play with her. I am so worried about her, her self-esteem is so low and I feel so terrible as a mother. If anyone has some advice I would appreciate it. Thanks
