[@QuinnWiessner]

What about when you suddenly remember to make a facial expression after staring blankly into the darkness for like 30 seconds lol

[@Ant_0n_y0u]

Literally me, like I don’t know what to do with my face in lyrical sometimes, and I need to show expression but I also don’t want to have lyrical eyebrows so I just try to give a little face but then I feel like I’m giving too little.

[@makenziealeasa8539]

Omg yassssss

[@madelynnnackerud9565]

This is soooo meee!!! I’ll go 😐🤭😀🤩

[@arielhluv]

I literally just did this same thing in my solo at competition the other day but I don't think the judges noticed cause they didn't say anything!

[@gracefullygrace4828]

Yess

[@claire9671]

It’s either all of these thoughts, or ✨nothing at all✨. Like, literally nothing. Empty 🧠

[@lexiexxox]

[@leadketz9140]

Me every dance cause im so anxious that i forget to think ahahah

[@quinncecilia7934]

Seriously tho, my mind just goes blank when I perform.

[@coriiiii.1417]

When you step on stage your like...I'm doing this- NO TURNING BACK NOW... and then ur mind goes blank and in the middle of the dance ur thinking, hoW hOW HOWW do I know this I am blank minded ok I'm done goodbye judges you look sassy at the end of this competition I never want to see you again- lmao

[@studybug.mp3]

“Oh my exits” felt that out of all the things I worry about exits the most🤧 literally for what?

[@CarissaCampbellDances]

same!!! i'm always so awkward

[@studybug.mp3]

@Brynnie’s Angels that’s me🤡 I get it together tho I promise

[@elizabethmorgan9988]

I feel like I am going to fall when I exit

[@amackandcheese4695]

No literally I stand up,smile way too much, (realize I smiled way too much) ,little head nod, that AWFUL AND AWKWARD run/waddle walk off stage as fast as my delirious little Ass can go, and THEN just stand in the backstage processing everything until my director finds me.😀 ISTG I gain consciousness as I have to bow I forget I’m even on stage

[@robloxadventures5495]

[@jeonane6457]

when I used to dance, I used to thought: "smile, smile, get it, right, dang it, you got it wrong, doesn´t matter act normal, smile, nothing happend, just smile and continue, smile, smile, thas't it smile as you never smiled before, perfect".

[@amandawaldolol]

Same I kinda used to go the wrong way like “ok, ok they are going that why just smile, nothings wrong, everything is fine..... (I used to take tap dancing btw)

[@clarab.7680]

what about 'smile smile- no not like that, you're showing too many teeth- smile smile- no stop scowling that's not for another 15 seconds- smile smile---

[@brookemcgee7377]

LITERALLY WHEN IM ON STAGE I FEEL LIKE IM NOT ON STAGE. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE ZONED OUT THE ENTIRE DANCE. ESPECIALLY DURING TEAM DANCES AND U JUST FORGET WHAT IS COMING NEXT OMGGGGG.

[@deevlogs6661]

so true, the moments is to real that you can’t even believe it.

[@macieduggar8058]

THIS IS SO TRUE LIKE I CANNOT SLEEP THE NIGHT BEFORE A COMPETITION AND ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT WHILE IM DANCING IS HOW TIERD I AM

[@randomedits1923]

YES I GET SO WORRIED FOR NOTHING BUT WHEN IM DANCING ALL MY THOUGHTS ARE ME BEING SLEEPIMG

“POP! dRaMa,,,” I'm dying 😂😂

"I keep forgetting I'm on the stage... i s t h i s r e a l l i f e" yeah that hit too close to home

[@homeagainaldc1902]

"something took over my body" me when I suddenly gain confidence outta nowhere

[@alohacallistaa]

when I’m onstage (I do theatre) In the beginning I’m like: “Okay miss remember your cues and stuff” “oo that looks like my parents *smiles*” “Oh shoot the music started” “did I miss my exit-“ “Frick frick frick I used the wrong arm” “Okay next scene whew”

[@raegan06]

the tired parts are so relatable like i'll be 30 seconds into the song and extremely out of breath then for the rest of the song i'll be praying that everything will be okay and that i won't lose all my stamina and mess up lol

[@PinkPuma31366]

I know the feeling I just recently had a performance and like a quarter of the way through my dance I had like 0 stamina and i was thinking “oh crap, I’m not going to make it all through, this is it for me, I’m done for”

[@nisha4081]

omg you should do different types of judges at dance competitions

[@cryinqcloudz4579]

"wait why are the lights so bright i need to see the judges face expressions"

[@sofiaoliva7167]

i used to think that they were thinking "OH MY GOD ABBY IS GONNA KILL ME JBYUGSDHTABNVWTEGD"

[@irandisalazar4760]

Carissa is the type of girl everyone wants to go to dance class with 😭 she’s such a ✨VIBE✨, love the videos 😌🤍

[@guilhermealmeida6181]

When you get musical theather there is no pressure like you don't expect yo win so you just have fun and i think it shows

[@jessicahiten6537]

The “I keep forgetting I’m on stage” is SO ACCURATE BAHAHA

[@isabellakrygowski5002]

You should do what dancers think when they are in the audience watching other dancers perform

[@Stella_intervallo]

One time my competition when I was in the wings somebody like pushed me and I just fell flat onto the stage

[@elsieching7]

I cant wait for this!!!!! I litterly cant go a day without watching one of her videos lol

[@CarissaCampbellDances]

thank u so much

[@abbyrose2888]

it’s just either “dang I messed that up hope no one saw that” *no thoughts* “YAY EVERYONES CHEERING IM HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE” thinking about my upcoming dances just staring at one person for 2 minutes straight

[@shohamzigdon1166]

My thoughts on stage: -Ok,You got this, don't stress out -I have a big leap in 16 counts -Im scared -* Leaping* yassss!! That was so good -and now im off music -get back on it come on -ok breath you are doing fine -Im hungery -Whats for dinner? -I have quick change after this -Whats next? -*Singing and counting in my head * -Im almost done -i cant breath -And, ending pose -Good job!now walk out gracefully not like you are almost dying Off stage: -RUN YOU HAVE A 5 MINUTE CHANGE - im thirsty -HELP ME -ok lets go

[@KarleeJ]

“My chest is burning” felt that one 😂

[@claviolaria5083]

I am not a dancer- but I love watching your videos 😂🔥 It’s so funny, because I am a Violinist and the mindset on stage is actually kinda the same 😂

[@sydneyspeck6390]

Ok but does anyone else’s mind just go blank and then the dance is over and ur like what

[@antagonizingprotagonist8721]

False. When I am on stage, all the fears melt away, all the troubles disappear, and for 2 minutes, everything in the world is perfect and amazing. I am in my element and ready to perform my heart out.

[@rubyfaye4935]

Excactly

[@adoreacademy82]

this is what we call dancing from the heart

[@butterscotch7952]

Omg yes!! Though I tend to black out and forget how well I did onstage but, that is a recurring feeling I get from dancing

[@sophiak1354]

Exactly, that's exactly how I feel

[@carolinewark1335]

I have never laughed harder 😂😂😂 I’m so happy I found your channel you made my day!!

[@CarissaCampbellDances]

omg you're too sweet!! thank u so much!

[@peachstar2285]

Yes!

[@CarissaCampbellDances]

aww thank you!!

[@savirakratc8815]

this was VERY accurate omg but what about when you're facing away from the audience and you're face hurts and you relax it for like two seconds and then start your facials again like 😃

[@ella0926]

OMG I DID "HE HAD IT COMINGGGGGG" My word was *LiPsHiTs* lol (I do comp dance) I really relate to pop up stages and a lot more.... 😑😅

[@itz_cherrybomb9085]

Being a dancer myself..... this was amazing! Also some parts I can relate to! I WANT MORE!!!!!

[@draydenayers6693]

I swear teachers r always like “don’t forget to count” and I’m like “how? I just think about other stuff besides counting”

[@jaydenstirk3630]

Is it just me who is confused but when it’s over I remember it perfectly

[@hae._.h]

all i think is I CANNOT SEE A SINGLE THING THE LIGHTS ARE TOO BLINDING or why are they staring at me oh wait-

[@margotnardone8753]

if y'all ever feel bad about your dancing just know that I once had a panic attack during a musical theatre number and when I listened to the judges critiques, he asked why I looked so "traumatized" :)

[@tarynbyers7317]

During my only solo during my senior year, we danced on a pop up stage for the first time, I did a jump and it was sooooooooo loud lmao

[@kamekomiyamora]

I don't usually 'like' videos, but I really enjoyed this one ^_^ While I'm not a dancer, I used to be on stage a lot in high school for various things so I can certainly relate. Not sure where you are in life as this is the first video I've watched from you, but I hope you have a long and wonderful dance career ahead of you! You're certainly talented!

[@4311-n1u]

wow you’re really good at dancing, really feeling it in that one XD

[@jadasimone1003]

help i just quit dance cause im literally failing school and now im binging your videos, pls- i miss dance lol

[@dovelynrae9618]

this is so funny could you make more of these "what dancers think about on stage" videos?

[@addison2129]

I’ve watched this so many times and when I did my solo all I thought were your phrases. The 2 that I thought were “how is this done already” and “ mY cHeSt iS bUrNiNg” during my solo but I basically thought of all of them “It sounds like an elephant hit the stage” that one I said when I got off stage 💀

[@jasmindancess342]

THE IMPROVE DANCING OMG I CANT IMPROVE POINTES TO YOU TO ACUALLY KNOWING HOW TO

[@ryelebrun6955]

"Okay but I didn't need to do that calypso." thats me everytime I improv!!!

[@absfairabbyfouts7099]

I died at “I’ve literally held my breath this entire dance” this is why our teachers yell BREATHEEE all the time

[@Hannah-cc4zc]

I just went on stage at a competition on Friday ( 3/5/21) and I thought some of theses

[@mayo3719]

I’m completely zoned out until I realize I made a mistake 💀 (It only happened once but it wasn’t competition thank goodness, I never did comp before)

[@ivaheart4993]

When I'm performing it's always "head empty, no thoughts" I don't even know how I remember the dances when that happens 💀👌

[@dontmindme.imjustafraidofe9327]

It never occurred to me that dancers actually think onstage.

[@emmysparks7307]

bro i felt the "sounds like an elphant hitting the floor" on a personal level

[@xxyoomi615]

I just think “BREATH OUT YOUR MOUTH…I CANT BREATH….oh THAT WAS BAD…..people people….ooOo that judge gave me tHe lOoK😶”

[@MiaGrace2348]

Or do you know that moment when you know a dance so well, you start questioning if you actually do the steps?

[@courtneyreed1502]

Please do another one!! I love this video so much I have sent it to all my dance friends and the editing is the best!

[@paleblue3575]

I'm a dancer and I relate to this soooo much. Like, some of the things you said are exactly what goes on in my brain in the middle of a performance

[@vangie8135]

Since when were people on the internet this relatable-

[@bestpersonever35]

Ong so true lmao! I get so nervous but then when im on i always think "omg yaz im doing so good ;)"

[@sbudke8607]

i feel this as a competitive dancer too i literally have a competition in less than two weeks not this saturday but next saturday i have competition wish me luck

[@coredancecompanyroblox9804]

Me every time I compete or perform : “ Oh I forgot to point my feet” “I’m falling out my turns” “I need to make facial expressions” “Oops I’m a little early” “My coach is gonna yell at me :’)”

[@spicy_burrito_8465]

You’re all thinking about this relevant stuff- i’m thinking about the movie I watched a couple of weeks before-

[@leahdances2007]

The one person who disliked is crazy 🤪

[@jennken7262]

As a dancer I can confirm that this is correct.

[@momostreams441]

This makes me miss dance so much. But honestly totally on par for what id probably be thinking about. The dances all looked really amazing too! ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ

[@ahuman3755]

as a young dancer I'm always like "I'm going to forget onstage in a group dance..."

[@estherkim6203]

What about when you are in a trio or group and you don't know which way you are exiting the stage?? Just me? Okay

[@CarissaCampbellDances]

THIS ONE

[@quxxnix7371]

Honestly, my dad has been telling me for years. Just think of the people as potatoes. 🤷‍♀️

[@catarinap.6614]

" I'm early, I'm early, I'm early".... the essence of my thoughts when I'm on stage. Also I'm wondering if I look cool, or I try not to think about anything at all so I dont mess up my choreography. 😂😂

[@BallerinaValkyrie]

This is so very relatable, and I don't even do completions (I think this is competition footage)

[@summerfugate112]

BAHAHAH STOP THESE SOUND LIKE THE SPUNKY JUDGES CRITIQUES

“i like that moment”

The “im literally not breathing right now” why is this too relatable

[@lynnes11]

"Is this real life" So relatable! I'm not a dancer but I compete in horse riding and there are always those surreal moments during the competition where you feel that ;-)

[@rougeakane]

That moment of panic when the music doesn’t start and your starting position is on stage-

[@annaliesetwining2085]

Being a competitive dancer as well I think pretty much all of this on stage 🤣

[@eduardasartorio8932]

4:30 omggggg I also danced to the CBT

[@hourofberries]

When i used to do dance competitions I was in elementary to middle school. I never did any dance class/style like this and yet almost all of these thoughts are relatable

[@sincerelynicolette329]

LMAO I HAD A COMP LITERALLY YESTERDAY AND THIS IS SO ACCURATE IM CRYING

[@jaimeelogan9763]

When I was on stage all I thought was 'show them you love it'. Worked every time. Listen to the music smile and let it flow.

I haven’t gone to a competition in so long but I always went at like 5 in the morning and it was so quite and this is 100% accurate

[@haley4973]

This is so accurate. Before every competition I usually don't eat too much and then I get on stage and I'm like I should have eaten something 😂

[@joyful2617]

As a dancer this is pretty true but all I think is "DON'T MESS UP, DON'T MESS UP, DON'T MESS UP"

“~drama~” my favorite

[@Adelinefrench_1]

I love how I just finished Masquerade this weekend and was feeling proud. I got a platinum and first place! But this made me laugh cause this is so trueeee! I felt like I did amazing at some parts and I thought “Oh god why did you sound like a elephant but ya know what! Maybe they will just think it’s the stage...Yep just the stage-“ Love your dances 💖💞💖 Btw what studio are you at? I am just wondering :)

[@starchild6880]

When I'm doing Colorguard for my highschool I'm like *"Smile, smile, drop to the ground quick"* *"DON'T BUMP INTO THE DRUMMER"* *"Oh hey I can see my crush in the - NO"* *"Have I ate?"* *"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 SPIN"* *"DON'T DROP THE FLAG"* *"AM I LATE???"*
