In my high school i take dance instead of phys. Ed. We're practicing a dance where each group does part of the song. Most of the girls in class can dance amazingly well but i'm pretty bad in comparison. We have to perform in two days. does anyone have any last minute tips to keep me from messing up or getting nervous in front of everyone else? I want to do really well. Please help ASAP. thanks

Some will tell you there is a right and wrong way to dance, which is not intirely false nor true, but I believe that yes, there is a right and wrong way, but just like beauty, dancing is in the eye of the beholder, in Layman's terms, you have to feel and connect with the music and with your soul and dance what comes out of you naturally and should be an instinct and reaction to how the music makes you feel. Dancing tells a story, and you have to make it flow. You should dance how you feel and how YOU think you should dance. Don't holdback, express what you feel. Yes, this does sound wierd coming from a non hippie 14 year old but it's the truth.

Practice practice practice in front of mirror and note you can see where your body is supposed to be and what it feels like when it's in the correct position. Put your body in the position it's supposed to be at various points then look down and concentrate and take a mental picture of what it exactly feels like. this will help. Look back up and make sure your still in the proper position and correct and remember accordingly for key points and places you are supposed to be at then practice a chunk of moments until you get it perfect then ad on until you have the whole dance.

All I can say is that if you really truly love to dance like I do then it won't matter if your not that great you'll just enjoy doing what you love. But if all you worry about is messing up or not looking good then you should probably find a new hobby. If you need more help email me. dancingqueenkv@yahoo.com
Hope I helped
Good Luck!

don't look directly into the audience. Look above or around. But act like you're looking at them...you understand? SMILE!! Even if you make a mistake, do it while smiling...it shows confidence and not afraid to make mistakes. practice practice practice. Practice in front of a mirror, that way you know when you make a mistake and can fix it easier. Do it in front of your friends and family. They will support you and tell it like it is.

Always smile ,make sure you remember the steps,loosen up , don't be too nervous and be positive ,the worst that could happen to you is nothing or you could possibly get a "bad" mark ... but it's okay give it your all......
