Ok, I get nervous sooooo badly before I go on stage! I think that nerves are a good thing! Because they help you perform better because you are alert and conscious of your movements. What I do is say a prayer to help calm my nerves then I go out there and ENJOY the moments I am on stage. And that really helps! Also I know people that never get nervous and I htink that is very unfortunate because I think that they dont enjoy it as much because they are like whatever I have done this a million times before and this is just a million and one so who cares. But if you are nervous I guess what I am trying to say is that you will feel more satisfied in the end! I hope this helps!

i'm sorry but i think every buddy gets over nerves in there own way own time you have to figer out what works for you

good luck you'll be great

Just don't think about messing up or anything. Just have fun and pretend no body's watching. =]]

Just picture everyone trying to do what you can do.
Whatever you do don't picture them naked. That's really gross.

Dance like nobodys watching! Breath deep and pray!

like you said, you've done it before.
your mind is playing tricks on you..
like when you say you have to pee
right before you get on stage? you
really dont have to. you just THINK
you do. and right now, you just think
that you're nervous. but deep down
you know that you are going to get
on that stage and prove yourself.

another thing to keep in mind is that even though you want to please your teacher, never forget that you dance for yourself and for no one else. you dance to make yourself proud of what you have become, and no matter what happens at that recital, you gave your all and did the best that you could possibly do. dont stress about it. leave room for improvement and just give it everything youve got! =]

once you get out there and start dancing youll be fine youll forget about you nerves and just have fun with it<33

just be free and ull do fine..i have faith in you..just show them your full potential. GOOD LUCK

I dance too! It is always good to be a little nervous. IT helps you to not mess up! Everything will go well. I PROMISE!

Try taking a nice warm bubble bath!!

just TRY as hard as you can and...stay calm...clear everything out of you head...don't worry about what ur teacher thinks...just worry about what u think...and some hints about dancing on stage are:
1. don't look at the audience...just look at the sound booth or something...or just keep ur eyes where they should be (following ur arms and stuff)
2. FEEL THE MUSIC

good luck! just have FUN

It sounds like you have stage fright, i act and every time i go on stage no matter how many times i do it i still have stage fright, so it's perfectly normal... but here's some tips on how to overcome it.

Just don't stress about it. I know this sounds hard, but try doing relaxing things. I drink some water, stretch, and listen to my Ipod before rehearsals or performances. It helps calm me down. About 15-30 minutes before the dance, run through it or go through it in your head. After that just don't think about it or you'll psyche yourself out. You might think you are forgeting it and need to practice, but just calm down and let your hours of practice in class pay off instead of your last minute cramming.

I hope I helped! Eat a banana that morning (they help with focusing). Good luck and smile ( :
