Dance Anxiety

[Sophie]

So I have alopecia and wear a wig to my ballet class because I have very little hair. I love my ballet class and the teacher is so sweet, but I have a rehearsal for a recital coming up and I know I'm going to be asked to put my hair in a bun. I can't do that with my wig and I have to tell my dance teacher tonight during class. I am so beyond nervous to bring it up. Any tips?

Hi Sophie, apologies for the late response, how did it go?
I understand this is difficult, just remember these awkward moments come and go in a few seconds.
I would just be honest to her/him and explain the situation.
You said the teacher is sweet, so I guess that they will understand and support you.
I hope you are well and wish you all the support.
I cross my fingers that this went well for you.

Thank you so much! It went really well and I was able to perform without a hitch
