How to calm nerves before dance competition?

I have a dance competition next weekend and usually, I get really nervous. How do I calm my nerves? Thanks!

Burn off your extra adrenaline right before you perform. (jumping jacks, running around) Get your heart rate up first then take some deep breaths to slow it down. Go out and have a great show!

If it is meant for you, it will not pass you by. Do your best and forget about it after that. Join a free online Arts Community and ask them for support and tips. Experience is everything.

There’s only one way – practice, practice and practice your art until you become so good at it that your confidence will overwhelm your nerves.

Break a leg!
