How to Get Over a Dance Phobia, PART 2: dancing will FREE you

Dance is a healing journey you need to go on-- ESPECIALLY if you are self conscious enough to have a dance phobia.

If you are self conscious like I was, your body is basically frozen, and you are a prisoner in it. You can't just loosen up and dance like everyone else. What's more you can't experience life like everyone else, because your body won't let you...it's too scared and too stiff.

Dance will fix that though. That's why your subconscious is telling you to DANCE and get on that dance floor and conquer your fear.

Dance will PUSH through your frozen body and melt through the stiffness and fear you have accumulated from all the mean things people said to you and all the dumb mistaken mean things you said to yourself causing you to be incredibly self conscious.

OH YES, I completely understand as I was probably one of the most self conscious people on the planet for a time. There was a time I was so self conscious things began to seem unreal and I learned it was a thing called depersonalization disorder, where people feel "divorced from their own personal self by sensing their body sensations, feelings, emotions, behaviors and etc as not belonging to the same person or identity." How is that for ultimate self consciousness!!!!

I needed the healing power of dance more than anyone! But if you can't dance, you NEED to dance too.

How will dance heal you? In order to improve you will need to break through different mental challenges and confront and find a way to conquer your fears. Dance provides the perfect method to do it all and all dancers must overcome these challenges. I see the stars on dancing with the stars struggling with the same dance challenges---to free their emotions, take up space, be powerful, be sexy, etc etc.

All this to say, I am rooting for you people with dance phobias. And know that you have this phobia because you need to free yourself. And you will. Like I did. And I am still improving.

I forgot to say the quote I wanted to say at the end:

"I loved best my students who raged against their fate because when they finally succumbed to their greatness they had the fire of hell in them."-Arthur Rubinstein (I think).

Basically, the more you FEAR dance, the better dancer you will be when you finally break free. You will have the fire of your struggles in you.
