Dr Lucie Clements, dance psychologist, talks about performance anxiety. We look at what performance anxiety is and how it differs to generalised anxiety or other forms of anxiety in dance, causes and symptoms of performance anxiety, and how it actually affects performance. This episode also explores how a pre performance routine can help performance anxiety, and offers advice for teachers and students on how to help manage or reduce performance anxiety.
