And I've been busy practicing all week. I've even been practising all over my backyard in shoes because today we'll be performing outside in a park. I've only danced and practiced indoors and in studios - it's hard to get fluid turns and movements when you can't spin and slide the way you are used to.
I think I am ready and I remind myself of these words spoke to me by my former instructor, well known choreographer for the Shimmy TV show - Kim Pechet - said to me after my last performance "you know the moves, trust yourself and smile".
I'm still new to performing and I can see that I do get better each time I do it, and I know that many famous performers still get stage fright before they go on, but they overcome it and perform flawlessly so I am aiming to put the fears aside and just dance.
I also tell myself - I can't stop time,the event will happen no matter what I do.
Besides it's a free event in a park on a rainy day. It's only 3 minutes long. By the time we start, it'll almost be over.
Time to go get ready - wish me luck!
And as we dancer say backstage to each other "bust a bra!"

My guess is the performing butterflies never go away totally.
From what I've been told - they don't. Even famous performers still say they get them
