Great advice throughout thread, especially on the chicken dance tip. One that was shared in the very first track school I attended, and stuck with me all these years, is the "baby chicks" rule for gripping the handlebars. No matter how fast you're going, no matter how tense the situation is, nothing gets better by gripping the bars too tightly - either from a comfort standpoint or a bike control standpoint. Imagine you're holding the handlebar grips as if you were holding baby chicks - squeeze too hard and you need to find two new baby chicks. Only just firm enough to manipulate the hand controls, and no harder. Pays dividends in surprising ways, including bike stability.
