Let me start with this picture. It was taken while I was helping with the audience participation dance at last year's Highland Games.
I think it shows just how fun and fancy or casual dancing can be.




Now, I LOVE dancing. I was so glad to get on the demo team and continued to do it and work hard to be good at it even after my injury in my first demo.
But I'm feeling very stressed out lately.
Our demo team is starting to get burned out. We all love to dance but we feel like we're dancing for an audience who just aren't interested. I mean, people come to see the Irish dancers. Some even get up and leave very loudly while we're dancing.
We're doing 2 square set dances this year and hopefully that'll get their interest a bit more, but what advice do you guys have for letting it glide over you and not getting burned out in spite of rude audiences and other dancers who have got to the point where they don't care?
