What should I do about my stage fright?

I have terrible stage fright but I love dance so what do I do? try and face my fears or just quit something I love

Dear Elf,
You know better than to quit something you love. Here is what you do..Practice an extra 1 to 2 hours a day. What will happen is your confidence level will shoot up and overcome that stage fright. Of course you will always be a little nervous thats natural, but it won't be that same scared feeling. That "fright" you feel is just a natural way of calling you to practice more..Practice so much before you go on stage that you can do all your moves in your sleep. Let me know.

Well what works for me, is that I always to look at one thing in the very back and keep your focus on that then you totally ignore the audience, it wiil take a while!

Don't quit just yet! don't let stage fright cripple you in achieving your lifelong dream. You might regret it in the end!

There are ways of overcoming stage fright. Positive affirmation is one of them. Think positive thoughts and stop being self-conscious. I've come across a great story about stage fright: http://stagefrighthelp.com/Stage-Fright-Strategies-for-Actors.php

Who knows I'm posting this comment to the next star dances!

practice in front of a mirror and in front of family and friends, thats what I did and when it came down to getting on stage I just pretended it was my family/friends watching and thats it.
hope it helps a little =D

NEVER quit anything that makes you happy, unless it's bad. try dancing w/ others on stage or in front of friends and family. I have extreme stage fright, but I can manage to keep my cool from time 2 time
