You walk out on that stage, You feel the lights hitting your face, You feel the audience staring at you. All you can think about is how your gonna mess up, how your gonna be an embarrassment on stage.
Okay see that sounds scary and I know it is because I've been through the same thing multiple times. You can quickly get over that scared feeling if you know how to it right. It is all about your mindset and what you do in that situation
Now, I'm a dancer and have been for 11 years so performing on stage is something that I can do in my sleep. But that doesn't mean that I never get nervous and anxious before stepping in front of thousands of people.
I am also someone who has anxiety so if you can't already tell, being nervous to dance on stage and my anxiety do not mix well.
Before going on stage here are a few things I like to do to calm my nerves.
Shake it out!!
Hype yourself up
Visualize you reducing your own nerves
POWER POSES
Don't psych yourself out...embrace that nervousnessÂ
BREATHE!!!!
Enjoy the momentÂ
Finally, come on, you got this :)
Remember that your gonna be on that stage for a reason and your gonna thank yourself later for being brave and going up there.
