    Default Nerves getting the best of me?

    So I dunno if this should be here or in the newbie section, but arrgh! I retired from dancing about a year and a half ago and decided that I would have to go back temporarily because I'm having some money troubles. Anyway, I was supposed to go audition yesterday after school, but decided to come home and study for finals and that I would go this morning. Then this morning I was procrastinating again and I feel really really nervous. And fat, and old and everything else. I danced for 5 years and have actually lost about 25 lbs since I quit so dunno what the hell is wrong with me but I am going out of town on Thursday of next week and need to make about $800 before I leave so I can't keep putting it off. Has anyone else ever been through this? Yikes!


    I'm trying to at least work up the courage to go audition and then go back to start tomorrow but I dunno if that's better or worse.

    Do you have a friend that can go with you to the audition so you have someone to help you through your nerves on the car ride and someone to motivate/make you go in? That's what I always do for a new place... it helps to have someone to calm me down and once I get to the place and audition I'm always good to go. It's just the nerves of having to restart again. I'm sure all nervousness will go away once you get the audition over with. Good luck!

    I felt the same way after taking a year break. It was hard to go in and do it, but I was really glad I did.
    So just go for it!

    Thanks girls, glad to know it's not just me, I'm not sure that I could really have anyone drive down there with me tomorrow because I will most likely stay and work- then leave to my other job. But it is a good idea for the future.

    i had this issue as well when i went back to dancing, which ws just recently. anyways, i put it off and put if off, and finally i got an itch and wanted to go, on my way there i tried to tal k my self out of it a million times, just tell yourself that you will audition and see what happpens. if you get the job you can start if you want or you can wait and try again when you feel more confident. honestly, once you start you will be fine, its just taking that first step. i always find million reasons for whyy i shouldnt do something, and its hard to get past that crappy reasoning i have in my head .

    I did it! I went and auditioned today and I'm starting tomorrow. Going to work day shift for a while until I fell comfortable.

    yay Gia ! you did it...I get nervous going back to dncing after being off for some time also so I know how it feels. Just stay motivated and be discipline with your work schedule. good luck and stay positive. I consider dancing as workout boot camp sometimes just to motivate myself, especially on shifts where I didn't do well.
