Question:

Please help me... in two weeks i have my first dance exam and im so nervous.....?

what shal i do? im so nervous and i hate both the dances were doing and i can quite seem to get anything right. im so worried about it. x

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: first thing to do is to calm down! relax. you're not gonna get anywhere by panicking, so relax. i know that sounds really hard, and your thinking - how do i do that? but just think about it - what really calms you down? do that. go and have a long long bath with lots of bubblebath. sleep lots. whatever makes you feel relaxed.

the next thing to do is to keep remembering: you are good at this. you can do it! i know it sounds really odd, especially as you say you feel as though you can't get anything right, but think about it: your teacher wouldn't have put you in for the exam if she didn't think you could pass it, would she? i'm sure you'll be fine.

generally, when people say 'oh i'm really terrible at this' it's because it's you and you can see all your little tiny faults that noone else notices. i had to speak in front of a whole load of people the other day, and i thought i was stuttering like anything, but all these people kept telling me i'd done really well. thinking you're terrible is just a part of nerves and all these mistakes you're making (or think you are) are probably down to nerves, so don't listen to it too much - you are really good - go for it!

if you hate the dances, that's tough luck this time - but you only need to do them for another 2 weeks! next time, try and pick something you like, and you'll have much more fun practising - i guarantee it!

lastly, i just want to say: calm down, relax, try not to get stressed about it. you're going to be absolutely wonderful! :-) if it's your first, you're going to be nervous, but try and have fun at the same time, cos that's what dance is all about!

good luck with the exam, and have FUN!!!
