things i think about onstage: *i'm hungry* *why can't i breathe* *wait do i actually know what part is next* *lemme not fall off the stage rn* *what's for lunch* *my costume itches* *i have homework to do when i get home* hehe love you carissa ❤️
Lol I always zone out onstage 😂 just last week when we did Le Corsaire I got offstage and I was like “wait what did I just do during that whole pas de trois?” Bc I was thinking about how there was a restaurant across the street and I was really hungry so I was gonna get food between then next performance LOL
I have a recital coming up, and ( I can do very little dance rn) during practice, I was thinking, why do they have me hovering over this tall girl, I am supposed to look intimidating, yet me and this girl start bursting out in laughter when I practically fall on top of her
As a dancer... my mind goes BLANK most of the time unless it's a step/section I'm really concentrating on or it's "I CANNOT breathe I'm OUT OF SHAPE" LOL
3:28 THIS IS SO TRUE LIKE I WHEN IM DONE WITH TGE DANCE IM LIKE “did i actually do the dance?” IDK IF ITS MUSCLE MEMORY BECAUSE I DONT REALLY KNOW THE DANCE MY BODY JUST DOES IT IYKYK
As a dancer literally when im going on the stage i feel my heart racing, sweaty palms, lots of emotions at the same time. I feel excited and happy to dance while at the same im scared to look at the audience.
As a dancer, I honestly mostly think about food while I dance. Especially if it's that one long competition and you haven't had anything to eat except for Starbucks all day- 😂
usually when i’m dancing on stage i just like space out and am feeling the moment but if it’s a dance i’m worried about i’m like thinking so hard about it i mess up so yeah
ur vids help me remember what it was like when i was super serious abt dancing and basically took a class in every style every day of the week… i miss this part of it lol
Video suggestion: you should play a game of confessions dance edition. Basically, you sit in a circle and you pick a topic, such as embarrassing comp moments or whatever else you can think of. then everyone in the group says an embarrassing comp moment. This game is really fun to play with dance friends. Sry if this is kind of a lame video idea, but I was trying to think of something that you could do, while you can’t dance.
So my 1st competition, which was also a convention, I wasn't scared at all! I just was like let's go. Which was also in march. Im kinda more scared on the big stages but yea. And when I dance, I truly don't think of anything except making my facials.
Omg guys so this one time I had a lyrical duet with my best friend and it was kinda serious but we kept on laughing during practices but when we preformed it at the end we were supposed to stare at e/o but her face was like making out as if she was about to laugh so I just like grabbed her into a hug to make it look like it was a cry or something I dunno but we won 1 in the division 😂🤷🏽♀️
Hey! That’s so cool I was actually at the Dance League convention when you performed that dance to Baby I’m a Star! It was so fun to watch you! I miss it!❤️
Hahahaha, I love how you think about your heel coming off, lol. I’m a dancer and once I was in a tap rehearsal and for some reason the whole heel of my tap shoe came off, 😆😆. And btw I love your videos 🤍🤍🤍
people say to me all the time “ stella how do you remember all the moves?!” hunny i just pray to sweet baby jesus that it’s all muscle memory…. i don’t breathe at all and i stare intensely at the audience
Ok but heels dances are legit scary, never wore them for dance competitions but I did a whole musical in them (bonus scare for them also having taps on them) once and my heel broke twice in one weekend and it was during the same number both times, during all the rest of the weekend when I had to wear someone else’s heels I was terrified I was going to break them too
3:14 this happened to me at my first compettition of the season on my fiers duet at i got off stage and i almost cried but i didnt bc i didnt want to do my eyelashed again and while performing i looked to my duet partener and said megan my shoe
for me, i’ve only been dancing for like a year, but for both dance and piano/music, i tend to zone out, zone back in and not know where i am, then freak out cause my muscles are now going off of muscle memory but my brain doesn’t know what i’m doing, and then my muscles start following my train of thought and there’s a moment of panic and then we’re good and i have no idea what just happened but i’m still performing 😎 no idea if that makes sense but that’s me aha
Amazing video carissa!!!! You are so funny an I love watching you!!!!! You make my days so much better! I hope your achilles tendon gets better!! Those are the worst 😫 love you!!! ❤️🥰
One time I forgot like a whole 3 8 counts of my solo and I had to improv luckily all of my teachers were pinning seniors for small group so we were good there but then the next dance I had I froze and then did the move late I was so disappointed
As a dancer, I'm not even thinking about the choreo.. I'm thinking about "What's for lunch?", singing the music in my head or, "OMG I ALMOST KICKED HER, IM SO SORRY I NEED TO HUG YOU WHEN WE GET OF STAGE"
in my mind there’s little sound effects for each dance move or it’s like “one, two, and KICK. EW my legs were so not straight. Omg what comes next? oh yeah *sound effect* and heel, heel, and FLOOR 2.. 3… 4… aroooouuunddddd and UUUUUP”
as a dancer...on stage i know i barely actually think about the dance😏
FR
Fr I just go on auto pilot sometimes and black out but I still do well
same lmao
same
When you do a dance a lot it just becomes muscle memory.
People are like “OMG I could never be a dancer because I would struggle to remember the mOvEs” but little did they know...
What?
@@solarkt when people dance, we tend to not actually think about the dance, we just let muscle memory happen
Little do they no... WE DONT REMEMBER THEM HAAHAHAHA
@@elizabethb3346 oh ok I am a dancer but I’m a beginner sooo
@@keegy.weegy. YESHAH
things i think about onstage:
*i'm hungry*
*why can't i breathe*
*wait do i actually know what part is next*
*lemme not fall off the stage rn*
*what's for lunch*
*my costume itches*
*i have homework to do when i get home*
hehe love you carissa ❤️
Don’t forget the “oooh I have to show facial expressions
@@karolineandriley4405 whenever i get offstage i have a mini panic attack that i looked like a complete lifeless robot lmaoo
@@carol_ineo same! Then I look at the video and I didn’t. I LOOKED CONFUSED AND LIFELESS
@@karolineandriley4405 my teacher always wants us to smile but when I consentrate I look sooo angry and feel weird 😂
@@katt2266 BROO ME TOO
As a dancer.... I think about all of these things onstage. Mostly, tho, the part about being tired and hungry.
Same
My number one is "am I breathing? I shouldn't be holding my breath rn"
i love how gym: bow essentially
theatre: bow
ice skating: bow
dance: passive aggressive nod
Lol I always zone out onstage 😂 just last week when we did Le Corsaire I got offstage and I was like “wait what did I just do during that whole pas de trois?” Bc I was thinking about how there was a restaurant across the street and I was really hungry so I was gonna get food between then next performance LOL
The zoning out during dances and still doing it right but forgetting… so true
Watching carrisa’s videos just teach me to never take having competitions in the middle of the day for granted.
OK BUT THAT TURN SEQUENCE WAS CLEANNNN
I have a recital coming up, and ( I can do very little dance rn) during practice, I was thinking, why do they have me hovering over this tall girl, I am supposed to look intimidating, yet me and this girl start bursting out in laughter when I practically fall on top of her
The “ ow Katie that kinda hurt “ has me 😂😭😂
cell block tango hits different when you do a dance to it
FRRR
When I get off stage after a dance I seriously can’t remember doing any of it cause my mind was just black the whole time. 😂
Especially when you do a blindfolded dance! It's like "what did I do again?"
same
As a dancer... my mind goes BLANK most of the time unless it's a step/section I'm really concentrating on or it's "I CANNOT breathe I'm OUT OF SHAPE" LOL
3:28 THIS IS SO TRUE LIKE I WHEN IM DONE WITH TGE DANCE IM LIKE “did i actually do the dance?” IDK IF ITS MUSCLE MEMORY BECAUSE I DONT REALLY KNOW THE DANCE MY BODY JUST DOES IT IYKYK
I definitely feel more nervous in the wings then on stage. Great video!
me too!!
I am so glad you included when you realize that you were zoned out during an entire dance
I'm really living vicariously through this channel as a ballroom dancer with no partner and no way to dance at home thank u for these videos
As a dancer literally when im going on the stage i feel my heart racing, sweaty palms, lots of emotions at the same time. I feel excited and happy to dance while at the same im scared to look at the audience.
"And pot stick squish" that is the most dancery sentence I have ever heard😂😂😆
as a dancer all I think about is that one restaurant across the street from the hotel. it is literally all I think about
HAHAHA
Afterwards the only stuff I remember thinking about are the little sounds my teachers make and "oh that went wrong, let's hope nobody noticed."
As a dancer, I honestly mostly think about food while I dance. Especially if it's that one long competition and you haven't had anything to eat except for Starbucks all day- 😂
Yess when you zoned out the whole dance. So true
usually when i’m dancing on stage i just like space out and am feeling the moment but if it’s a dance i’m worried about i’m like thinking so hard about it i mess up so yeah
She’s such a good dancer omg 🥰
I either have a million random thoughts running through my head on stage or my mind goes completely blank. No in between.
ur vids help me remember what it was like when i was super serious abt dancing and basically took a class in every style every day of the week…
i miss this part of it lol
Actually this is me in class on stage I usually zone out. Except for singing competitions then my brain refuses to shut up
Me be like freaking out about the Dance back stage because I am to Worried if I will forget it
"Spin spin weee and ooh don't hit that person okay gotta prepare for the pirouettes don't screw it up or else, or else what?"
honestly the cell block tango ones are just so accurate-
THIS GROUP IS SO GOOD OMFG
Yep. Every time. Every. Single. Time
Video suggestion: you should play a game of confessions dance edition. Basically, you sit in a circle and you pick a topic, such as embarrassing comp moments or whatever else you can think of. then everyone in the group says an embarrassing comp moment. This game is really fun to play with dance friends. Sry if this is kind of a lame video idea, but I was trying to think of something that you could do, while you can’t dance.
As a dancer (with a recital today) what I think about on stage is:
SMILE
DO THE MOVES RIGHT
WHY IS MY WHOLE ENTIRE GROUP BETTER THAN ME
I LOVE STARING into the audience
Whenever im about to go on stage i panic cause I forget the entire dance but then Im fine after!!
as a dancer i completely agree
THE SYNC IN THE TURNS AT 2:56 IS INCREDIBLE HFJHDKJ
whenever i’m performing i never think about the dance and constantly feel like i forgot the dance then the music starts and i just remember it😃
Lol, I always think either: AHHHH OMG NOOOOO- or : YESSSSSSS SCOREEEE!
This is so funny I'm crying. Seriously. How are you so funny but serious at the same time? I love it
as a dancer i can confirm that all i think about on stage is everything but the dance
Its the Pop. Six. Squish for me😂
As a dancer I can say this is so true
This makes me want to start doing dance again. Also girl you look nicer then me on a normal day.
When I'm staring into the audience I'm skimming for my mom
Lmao why is this SO ACCURATE
I would loveee a part 3!!! These are hilarious!😁😂
Y’all are so in sync
So my 1st competition, which was also a convention, I wasn't scared at all! I just was like let's go. Which was also in march. Im kinda more scared on the big stages but yea. And when I dance, I truly don't think of anything except making my facials.
I literally think about all these things on stage

Watching these two videos back to back I can safely say that your dance career is just basically being accidentally violent to Megan
HAHAHHA
😂✋
omg, I also went to hall of fame, the best comp I have ever gone to.
But literally there are some dances where I am trying not to mess up and there are dances where I am ✨LiViNg In ThE mOmEnT✨
I really like the videos! Keep up the good work!
Hey! That’s so cool I was actually at the Dance League convention when you performed that dance to Baby I’m a Star! It was so fun to watch you! I miss it!❤️
I loved the first one, so I'm lad you made a part 2! :)
What I think about on stage: smile now look at the judges so that they remember this dance and face face face SMILE
I just want to thank you so much for posting, it makes my day. You inspire me to keep dancing, so thank you so much!
aww 😭 thank u for watching! this means so much to me 🥺
@@CarissaCampbellDances th-cam.com/video/d-diB65scQU/w-d-xo.html
Btw I also had Achilles tendinitis
I literally don't think on stage. I'm just completely blank
As a dancer who has a comp today... I think about my coach watching me and screaming at me to not mess up😂
honestly i don’t even know what. i think i just like blank out
I love this so much pls part 3
Hahahaha, I love how you think about your heel coming off, lol. I’m a dancer and once I was in a tap rehearsal and for some reason the whole heel of my tap shoe came off, 😆😆. And btw I love your videos 🤍🤍🤍
As a dancer as well I just got back from a comp and this is very accurate 🤣
people say to me all the time “ stella how do you remember all the moves?!”
hunny i just pray to sweet baby jesus that it’s all muscle memory…. i don’t breathe at all and i stare intensely at the audience

going on stage is the most nerve racking thing ever
I LOVE THESE
Amazing video carissa!!!! You are so funny an I love watching you!!!!! You make my days so much better! I hope your achilles tendon gets better!! Those are the worst 😫 love you!!! ❤️🥰
awww thank you so much!! ❤️ you’re too sweet 🥺🥺
honestly
the second i'm on stage:
my mind: dammit i gotta pee
this is so true
I feel you Carissa, I am on week seven of not being able to dance, due to sever’s disease
oh no!! i hope you feel better soon!
@@CarissaCampbellDances thx
@@CarissaCampbellDances I hope you feel better too!!!
YOOOO I WAS HOPING FOR A PART 2
Omg this is so funny I love ur vids so much ur amazing and an amazing dancer ❤️💖💗
love your vids!
You should do a video off the types of teams at a competition
One time I forgot like a whole 3 8 counts of my solo and I had to improv luckily all of my teachers were pinning seniors for small group so we were good there but then the next dance I had I froze and then did the move late I was so disappointed
the crickets at 2:00 where on the beat with the dance lol
I love this thank you
I am a dancer and I can totally agree
Us all forgetting the dance and looking at each other like:*Help*
lets say while their at masquerade that was the first place i did a compitetion
Some times I get off stage and I am like “did I do the leap”
ahh i was wondering why you couldn’t dance cause you posted on insta but i hope pt helps!! loved this vid
I do ballet and contempory. Best decision of my life
When I get off stage the first thing I do is BREATHE!!!!
i'ma gymnast and whenever i compete i always zone out
when i did dance i did not think about anything
Is it just me or does anyone else wanna see the whole “he had it coming” dance lol
it’s posted on my channel!!
@@CarissaCampbellDances I just watched it now, so good!
As a dancer, I'm not even thinking about the choreo.. I'm thinking about "What's for lunch?", singing the music in my head or, "OMG I ALMOST KICKED HER, IM SO SORRY I NEED TO HUG YOU WHEN WE GET OF STAGE"
On stage I think about really deep stuff and count at the same time lol
I’ve found that it’s better when you don’t think about the dance or the choreography to much because whenever I do that I end up messing it up.
im a musician not a dancer but god this is relatable
in my mind there’s little sound effects for each dance move or it’s like “one, two, and KICK. EW my legs were so not straight. Omg what comes next? oh yeah *sound effect* and heel, heel, and FLOOR 2.. 3… 4… aroooouuunddddd and UUUUUP”
