I've been asked to do a solo piece at the show in 6 weeks. I really don't think I can do it?

Question

I'm a ballet dancer, and have been since I was 4 (i'm now 16). The group I'm with puts on regular shows, and we often dance for plays at the theater and such things, so I have danced on stage MANY times before. I just don't know whether or not to take up the offer or not. I know it's a great opportunity, but I just feel too scared. Should I do it?

However, now they want me to do a solo ballet piece in our next show. I know that around 300+ people will be there, as it's at a big venue. The girl that normally performs has left for college, so no longer comes. I mean, I know I'm good at ballet, but I'm not THAT good, and I know that I'll make mistakes, fall over and everybody will laugh. I just know it.
