Dancing Queen

Dear Dancing Queen,

I love to dance, but I have been having terrible stage freight lately and I am not sure what to do about it. We have a recital this weekend and I am not sure what to do about it. Any advice would help! :)

Sincerely,
Stage Freight

Dear Stage Freight,

I was a dancer for thirteen years and I had stage freight almost every time a recital came around. I just gave myself a pep talk and talked to my family members and then I felt okay to get on stage. Also right before I went on I took a few deep breaths and closed my eyes and then it made me feel calmer and I was ready to dance. I suggest that you try some of these and see if they work! Hopefully I could help! :)

Sincerely,
Dancing Queen

Dear Dancing Queen,

My mom wants me quit dance and I really don't want to do that. Dance has been my life since I was two and I don't know where I would be without it. How do I convince my mom to not make me quit dance?

Sincerely, 
Not a quitter

Dear Not a quitter,

My freshman year of high school my mom made me quick dance and to this day I regret it. I wish that I had the confidence to tell my mom that I didn't want to quit dance. I think that if you truly don't want to quit dance then you should just sit your mom down and tell her your feelings because if you don't then she won't know how you truly feel about dance!

Sincerely,
Dancing Queen
