4. Combating Pre-Stage Nerves & Post-Stage Disappointment

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to The Mindful Dancer Podcast!

In today's episode, we are going to be discussing pre-stage nerves & post-stage disappointment! Feeling worried or nervous before you go on stage or disappointed when you come off stage is a normal part of being a dancer, but if you find that these feelings are too BIG and are taking over then practicing mindfulness will help! 

In today's episode you will learn: 

  • What grounding means

  • Some tips & tricks on how to reduce your nerves before stage

  • How to let go of post-stage disappointment 

  • What it feels like to be in the present moment

At the end of the episode, I will guide you through a popular grounding exercise called 5 senses or 54321! 

Enjoy :)
