Jesus christ housewarming log cabin dance...so nervous!

I live in the woods with my family...way out in the woods. Last year our house burnt down, but with the help of neighbors, we were able to get it up again in a short time ( I live in a tiny cabin--5 rooms)

Anyway, we are having a housewarming party and I am really, really nervous, because I'm going to be performing an interpretive dance that I've been planning my whole life. I feel as if I were born to be an artistic director/dancer and now it's my time to shine, but what if no one likes it?

I begin the dance inside an egg (symbolizing rebirth/Easter) and then I emerge as Santa Claus (childhood dreams/Christmas--which was when our house was completed) and then I take off my heavy suit and present myself as Jesus Christ. I know it's heavily symbolic, but I've worked so hard on the costumes, I hope everyone likes it. Is it normal to be this nervous? How can I calm down?

  • Now I know where Lady Gaga got the idea for her Grammy performance from.

    If you were my kid I would still be proud of you even if it wasn't that good. All your thought and efforts would deserve something. Can't live your life with alot of "what if?".

  • What's the worse that could happen? They don't like it, you did. That's not so bad, even though it is very, very unlikely that no one will enjoy & appreciate your efforts. Stage fright is just something you have to face and learn to manage if you want to be a performer.

    Well im no christian, and i have to admit: that dance sounds a little wierd... but it nice that you'll be performing like that and what i would do is just act like you've done it all before. Keep in mind that the people you'll be performing in front of WANT you to succeed and just have fun with it!
