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!
