How do I get over stage fright?

1st time on stage. How to get rid of stage fright?

  • In a couple of weeks I have a dance recital. And only time I went on stage was graduation/ceremony in 5th grade, but that was only for like 5 seconds. And I have 3 dances, Jazz, Ballet and Modern, and Im scared. Like what if I mess up, or fall. But when ever I have to do something in front of people I get really nervous and start shaking, really hard, and I cant speak. How do I get rid of my stage fright. Please help.

  • Answer:

    Don't look at anyone find a spot on the wall a just stare at it... it will make you less uncomfortable and also the audience wont be creeped out your staring at them (sometimes if you just look at auduence for to long they will feel uncomfortable as well) Also don't worry just think about doing it back in the pratice room... pretend you are still there not on stage. And keep yourself busy thinking about other things(not stressful or emotional things) before you go on stage, half the stress that causes stage fright comes from the anticipation that you get right before you go on stage so just talk to a friend or start thinking about your weekend or a boy or anything that will get your mind off of dancing before you go on and you wont worry so much. You'll be fine! Hope all goes well... Break a leg! (theater term for good luck)

one possible way is exposure. perform more and more for people. maybe start with family and/or friends. and maybe eventually neighbors or friends of friends you might not know as well. also just keep performing every chance you get. the more you get out there and perform on stage the more you'll get used to it and realize that you can do it. you may make mistakes but keep trying. i used to play music on stage and i would just focus on making the music sound great for me and i would sometimes forget i was playing on stage

think about the positive! get all the self doubting out of your head and focus on trying to impress the spectators. It also helps to look at someone in the crowd that you know :)
