Thanks for sharing Khaanee. I enjoyed reading your post. You certainly sound sassy :) I like kareoke as well and as a former professional dancer, I know what you mean by opening up to your audience. Your tips were helpful.

 

I also want to add, fake it til you make it! Project confidence.

Get out of your head - that's another thing to remember.  As long as you're listening to that self-critical, doubting voice in your head, you won't go all out. 

 

The next time that inner critic mouths off, tell it to shut up, and then thumb your nose at it by hamming up your hoopdance.  Pretty soon, that critic will realize you're not listening anymore, and it will shrivel up and die for lack of an audience!

A lot of people subscribe to the notion of "Dance like no one's watching." Last year I read the bio of a burlesque dancer. She had a totally different take. She said, "Dance like everyone's watching!" 

 

Yeah, what she said.

I get what she's saying - always dance your best effort, whether anyone's watching or not.  I can agree with that. :)
