The Thrill of Performance

Do you dare to get on stage 
Were the people stare as you 
dance
Its so exciting 
But at the same time 
frightening
Your scared to skip a beat or 
slip up with your feet
But your fighting your fears 
and following the beat  

Now the performance is done 
and your finally over
Your worry if they will clap or 
never come back 
Again and again that thought 
runs through your mind until 
you finally see a little smile
As the audience scream and 
give you bouquets 
You cant help but cry cause you 
danced good today

I mix a lot with actors and singers. Most of them admit that it's fear backstage, followed by fun once on stage and the ice is broken. Eventually it's the people's reactions that usually count. // paul

It is the fear that provides the intensity for the performance. I enjoyed your dance across the page.
