    Default i can't get back into the swing!!

    ok heres the deal im 22, danced for 6 months when i was around 19-20, and i wanna get back into it, so i went to an audition and got a job, (not a very high scale club) and went to my first day and danced on stage to two songs and totally got freaked out when i went on the floor i had to leave, i just lost it, so heres the questions, did this ever happen to anyone and how do i get the guts up to do this again? This is something I need to do to prove to myself i can do it again and i need money and Im good at flirting but when i went out on the floor all my self esteem went away. any suggestions?

    no this has never happened to me........sounds lke you had a case of stage fright but on the floor.You could try easing yourself slowing into talking to people and then try asking them for a dance.don't worry,im sure you'll get use to it soon.

    I feel for you, girl. Anxiety is a bitch. I stopped dancing for a couple of months myself too and when I went back, I hit the stage and thought I wasn't going to make it through my set. But I did, and then I made it through the rest of the night. I kept making teeny goals for myself like, "ok I am going to get through this stage set and be sexy and flirty." After I did that I told myself, "Ok I am going to sell two dances within the next half hour." Small steps. Also, keep reminding yourself that time DOES pass and you will be at home soaking in a warm bath sooner than you know it!
    Try not to rely on alcohol to get you through it. I made that mistake and now it's a total crutch for me -can't get on the stage without having a good buzz on first -no good!
    Remember THEY came to see YOU, not the other way around.
    Good luck.

    I usually feel a little strange on my first day back after a break, or my first day at a new club. Being on stage is fine, but getting back into hustling takes a day or two. You're in a new environment, where a different set of rules apply. You may need to acclimate yourself a little bit before you can really get into your game. But, like riding a bike, it comes back to you. I'll bet after you've worked another day or two, everything will fall into place.
