I survived! It wasn't as bad as i thought! I was very nervous before coming to stage for the first dance, but the following ones, I wasn't nervous. It was so funny: the show lasted an hour and for me it lasted 5 minutes! I had so much fun, sharing this moment with my mates, my teacher, watching my family in the audience... I'd love to dance more in public and investigate in my creativity and goal for dancing...

Next November I'll be performing again. It will be my third time on stage. The last experience was a mixture of positive and negative experiences--the bad side of it was that now, when I analyze the situation, I understand that my former teacher didn't make me feel confident and allow me to express myself as I would have wanted; and the good side of it is that I WANT to perform again, that my new teacher motivates me to express myself as a dancer. I had and still have the feeling that my former teacher was very competitive, even with her students... So, I suffered stage fright during my last performance-- at the beginning I was willing to show everything I had learnt and enjoy the experience, but I gradually became stiff and nervous. I hope this will not happen again and that it will serve me to prevent it in the future.
Now I'm also singing in a band and next Sunday is my debut, and I fear stage fright... I know it's different to dancing, but, again I'm not confident, this time because I don't know the lyrics by heart!
It's a matter of attitude, overcoming or even not encountering fear... It's strange, when I was a kid, I didn't have these tribulations, I just did things!
I'd love to hear comments from anyone!
