🆘 help me deal with stage fright? #dancingforacause #dancingdoctor

You go out there with the exact same confidence you have when operating on a spine or brain or wake boarding or anything else you do in your life. It’s just like any other sport you do successfully. You’re making a great memory for a good cause. There is no fear in that. I thought you were a competitor. Go show me!

I had a friend tell me once, "just remember all those people in the audience are just glad it's you up there, and not them." It worked, and still works 30 years later!

Gotta take a suggestion from Nike and Just Do It!

Anything with music was always easier for me than talking because once the music starts, memory takes over. You could also try to keep your eyes on your kids because I'm sure they're gonna be so excited watching you. You've got all of your youtube fans and hype crew behind you. You got this badass lady spine doc!

When I used to dance I would always get stage fright before performances, my mom would always tell me to do it scared. The people in the audience don’t know what your dance routine is supposed to be, so if you make a mistake brush it off and make it look like it’s part of the dance and keep going! You’ll do great doc!

Look past the crowd....look at the back wall....YOU GOT

I did Color Guard for six years. First, BREATH! Take deep breaths. Believe in yourself. Don’t think about the crowd at all, focus on your PERFORMANCE. I would visualize my routines (had some duets and solos in high school). The crowd was never a part of my visualization because I focused on my performance. The hype from the crowd helped feed my performance. And of course have FUN! You’re doing this for a great cause. Try to use the nervous/anxious energy to your advantage. ❤

If you're on a stage with lighting, chances are you won't be able to see anyone. You got this 😊

[MontanaLinnea]

Your nervousness tells me you’re ready to kill it! Nerves keep you alert and not distracted! You got this!

Relax, and enjoy yourself. Nothing is scary. You got this! Where is your confidence? Come on girl 😊

[donnakemp]

You should go out on stage, do a mini freak out and then yell, "Gotcha". Then start your routine. Laughter is always the best medicine.❤❤❤❤

I love these dance videos! I hope you continue them after the competition. As for stage fright: Feel the fear for a second and then GO FOR IT and just do what you are there to do. I speak from experience.

[nancyburke]

You inspire people. No pressure, just be you.
