Okay, I am finally going for it tonight. There is a local amateur contest tonight. I’m going with the intentions of doing this. But I’m not sure what to expect. If I get there and it’s all dancers that are obviously not amateurs, I’m not sure I will be able to do it. I really want to and I have been working up to this for months, probably 7-8 months now. Actually probably longer than that. I have always made excuses because I’m so nervous about this. It’s either I need my nails done, my hair done, I need a tan, I need to lose weight, I need outfits, shoes, etc….. I’ve exhausted all of those now as I have 3 outfits, 3 shoes, my hair is done, my nails and toes and I have a nice tan. I haven’t lost much weight, but I have toned up a lot of what I didn’t like. I’m finally saying to myself, enough with the excuses, you are just going to have to get your ass up there, get over it and DO IT already! I really want to do this, and it’s not the idea of the lap dances or working the room that makes me nervous, I like being social and I can make conversation easily. I’m soooo nervous about dancing on stage. The idea of everyone watching me doesn’t bother me. I just worry about what to do while on stage. I can’t do any pole tricks and I’d rather not try anything that I’ve attempted at home until I master them. I don’t want to look clumsy or fall trying to do anything like that. I just don’t know how to move while up there. I’ve been reading this forum for a while and I know from reading that it’s important to move slowly and don’t club dance. But I’m not sure how to move. I’m sure once I get up there nerve it will all fall into place and I’ll be okay. I’m just so nervous about the moment when I’m walking on stage and the music starts. I really owe a huge thank you to all you girls on this board. I’ve gotten so many questions answered, had a lot of my fears put at ease and the few times I’ve posted I’ve gotten a lot of encouragement. I don’t feel like a complete naïve girl since I’ve been reading the board. It gives me courage, ha ha! I guess I’ll keep reading all day because I’m going to need every bit of courage I can muster up because I really want to do this! I’m excited and almost half sick at the same time. Did anyone else feel like this? Any advice tips or encouragement will be greatly appreciated. Thank you ladies for all your help!
Amanda
