you want to look as bad ass as possible.....TURNING AS MANY KNOBS, PRESSING CUE AND FUCKING AROUND WITH THE DECK LIKE YOUR DOING SOMETHING = FLASHY AND COOL
even more bad ass = smoking a cigarette and doing all of the above
It actually take minimal effort to mix tracks nowadays especially if you're using CDs or a laptop. All the flair you see from DJs on the decks is just to hype up the performance bit.
Personally if I'm not mixing a new track or whatnot in, I'm usually doing my own lame version of dancing, or jumping up and down like a girl in '60s at a Beatles concert haha. I can get carried away, especially if I've had a few brews in me.
