Cheerleading squad or Dance team people??

Question:

Cheerleading squad or Dance team people??

What are you guys thinking when performing? Is your mind on what is going on around you or is it absorded in your routine (mind on the game/performance what ever it is called)? Also, does your routine become an automatic process after a while? (you don't need to think about what you are doing)

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: When im dancing i dont think about the moves, it becomes an automatic process for me. Im trying to concentrate on the emotions and my performance and sometimes i steal a glance at the audience or the judges. But even if im not looking i can tell if something went wrong in a group routine. Like one time a girl in our routine knee popped out of the joint and i could tell someting went wrong. Well after we've done the routiene like a gabillion gimes it's pretty much an automatic process. Most of the time when I'm performing I am thinking about smiling and how many people are staring at me and that if I mess up I'll ruin it for the whole team! I don't usually remember if I did it right or not because my body just like does it. I think we think about the performance not so much what is around us and it is automatic after a while.
