Answer 1

Oh god! nerves!! i can't even count how many times i've danced in front of large audiences, yet ya know what? i've been nervous every single time! i'm not gonna sit here and tell ya how the first few seconds are so bad but you'll get over it..cause you prolly won't...but what you have to do is instead of trying to get rid of the nerves, use them to benefit you! With nerves comes an overwhelming amount of adrenaline that can boost your performance. So don't let your shakey body stop you..turn it around and use it to help you!

Here's what i always do:

pick a part of the routine that you are the most nervous about. Think about that part and how good you could possibly do. You'll be thinking about it while dancing instead of the people watching you. Then when that parts over, you'll be so relieved, no matter how good or bad it went that you'll be able to finish up no problem!!

i hope this helps, good luck!

First, calm down. Take deep breaths and think of something else. When you're on stage, think of something funny so you'll keep smiling and not be so nervy. Relax before you go on stage and if you mess up, just keep going and act like you didn't, and the audience probably won't even notice. So just do your best and have fun!♥
