Default My big weekend (*nervous*)

As some of you know, I do Irish dancing ("yeah, like Riverdance"). I did it when I was little, and then started back a while ago, then had foot injuries over the summer, so it's been off and on. I've done performances in shows, and some small competitions, but this weekend is my first really big competition. (yes, there is "competitive" Irish dance, and it's actually a pretty big scene).

Anyway.... I just wanted to vent for a minute and try to relieve some of my nerves

I am really excited, it'll be fun, but I am more nervous than I thought I'd be. Like, I'll forget the steps, or fall on my rear, or my wig will fall off. (yes... wig... stop laughing...)

I did get an extra boost today cause I found out the design I submitted for the t-shirts they will be selling won, so at least if I stink it up and don't win any of the dances, at least I won the t-shirt competition

Okay, thanks for letting me ramble. *big sigh* I feel better now

I'm sure you can't do any worse than my performance was a couple weeks ago...

You'll do great once you get going. The anticipation is always the worst part...once the music starts your hours of practice will take over and you'll be fine.

Good luck, Stardust.

I attended a competition once in Cleveland (called a Gaie or something like that). My sister and brother-in-law had their boys into the scene. The youngsters not only did dancing but the older boy won a trip to Dublin by finishing runner up in a national Irish Fiddling competition (aka-violin).

I don't know that much about it, but my brother-in-law, Irish through-and-through, would complain about the judges often.

The Rick is right. When I was wrestling, my worst performances were when I wasn't nervous. Once you start, it will go great. Be sure to tell us all about it. Photos??????

You will do fine. I'm sure once you start dancing you won't even remember you were nervous. Have fun and enjoy.
