Dance Recital!?

Question

What should I do when I am backstage waiting to go on stage a do my preformance and when I am waiting to do the fanally?

Please HELP.

Answer 1

Hanging out back stage is one of my favorite parts of performing!  I have my year end dance show next week.  I just hang out with my friends, have tons of fun getting ready and applying makeup, watch other dancers perform and stuff.  Basically I just relax.  Our dance teachers always make sure we are all stretched and warmed up before we go on and I think it helps A LOT on stage.  It also helps to listen to your dance music on an ipod or mp3 player if you don't have a chance to rehearse with music before going on stage.  Personally, I usually only get nervous seconds before entering the stage.  Then I just take deep breathes and assure myself that everything will be fine.  Good luck and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
