Nervous for my first dance soloat competitions, tips?
i once had to go into an exam on my own when i did modern dancing... i was terrified - i do Irish Dancing now. the first time you dance solo is always scary but remember these important things the night before the competition think about the important things in the dance write a list and take it with you on the day of the competition look it over once think about what sets you apart as a dancer practice the entire routine once and then do something nice for yourself make sure you have everything you need packed and ready to go so that on the day you don't have to worry about forgetting something important also make sure you have a checklist of what's in your dance bag for coming home after the competition. bring a sewing kit just in case something goes wrong with your costume and make sure you have safety pins in it before you start to dance make sure your hair is suitably styled and allow enough time to do your hair before the competiton starts if you have to get a number and register do that BEFORE you get changed or warm up make sure your number is properly affixed to your costume when you start to dance pretend the room is empty pretend you are dancing for yourself and it's not a competition if you forget improvise if you take a tumble get straight back up and make it look like you meant to do that! winning is not important as long as you know you have tried your best if you win that's a bonus if you don't well ask your teacher to critique you and give you a list of things to work on also think of your first solo competition as a learning experience and don't be too disappointed if you don't place. different adjudicators look for different things walk onto the dancefloor confidently don't forget to smile and at the end of your routine make sure to bow because it shows you respect the adjudicators above all, enjoy yourself, the adjudicator will notice if you look like you are going through the motions this is all the stuff my dancing teacher says to us I only compete at class competitions once a year but i still take it seriously and i start preparing for it in September and it's normally in December
Why am I still scared of teachers, lecturers or managers?
Hey! As Anoop said, you might have a fear of authority. This is natural in anyone, and not to be worried about. However, you must do your best to get over it.I personally think you fear teachers and the like, because of a couple of reasons - confidence and expectations. People who get along well with teachers and superiors naturally, belong to two categories:1. Those who are academically or technically proficient and hence confident that they can meet expectations, however high they be. Hence, teachers and bosses treat them as equals and vice versa.2. Those who know absolutely nothing and know that they know nothing. Teachers and bosses naturally expect nothing of them, and get along amiably to avoid unwanted friction.3. A special category - those who can talk, who can entertain. These people matter merely through force of personality, their innate likeability.You probably fall somewhere in between and hence, do not know which way to categorise yourself and approach them as. And because of the same hesitation, those in authority probably do not notice you and hence seem distant and unreachable, and hence, fearsome.The best thing I can ask you to do now, being in a job, is to take part in something that will make them notice you. Maybe take an initiative and complete some project or piece of work well before time. Maybe a little bit of innovation and tweaking to get a better result than just what your job demands. Maybe take a lead in some group work of yours and show that you possess your own talents.On a more day to day note, smile whenever you see them. Greet them. These small approaches, and the positive responses they bring, will help take away the block in your mind against them.Hope this helped.

My dance teacher makes it really clear she has favourites and only focuses on them. What should I do?
What you should do depends entirely on what you want to achieve from dance training. If you want to achieve your personal best you need a teacher who will give you corrections in every class because it is only through corrections that we learn and progress. It seems unfortunate that she called you silly for forgetting the change in arms, but it was a correction. Can you put up with her manner of correcting you? If not, you should find another teacher who will help you to progress. If on the other hand your desire is to do competitions in a "competition troupe" then your choice is to stay where you are or find another competition school. This really doesn't have so much to do with the girl she seems to favor. A teacher will always favor the students who have the most potential and in a case like this all you can do is use the corrections you are given, even if they are given in a manner that you don't like.
