Dancing..
Hey. I been dancing since I was 4ish-7ish but then I quit. I started going street/Hip-hop lessons now since April. I have a few dance videos but I still cant keep up with them or my dance school! Everyone else is prancing around memorizing all the moves when there is me forgetting the moves and really slow!! I'm not sure how to remember the moves and speed up! Any tips? And yes i do concentrate as hard as I can but i forgot them all even after 2 minutes! Thanks if you can help x

ok, I'm a dancer, so I can tell you with all honesty that the only way you're gonna get better, and be able to memorize all the moves is to practice, practice,practice!!!Practice makes perfect! It also helps ALOT to concentrate on the 8 counts! Good Luck!!

I've been hip hop dancing since I was 10! My dance instructors gave me some really good tips cuz I cant focus that well either. What I do is break the dance up into smaller parts and then just practice that until I get it down. Then move on and try the next part, and put it all together! It takes A LOT of time and a LOT of hard work but you'll get it with lots of practice! Good luck!

yeah, once you quit dancing it's kind of hard to pick it back up. i've been dancing since i was 3 so i know exactly what you're talking about. i say work on ONE dance at a time, then you concentrate on it more and just get your mind set on it. taking notes sometimes works good for people too. keep a journal with you every 8 count or so mark something down to help you remember. i use shorthand so it's faster. if you still need help after memorizing it and writing it down, ask the teacher if you could bring in a casset tape or a cd so she could copy the music to it. a lot of times when i'm trying to practice dances at home, i can't really remember. but once i hear the music it kinda jogs my memory. and i usually dance a lot, i practice all my dances when i first wake up (so i won't be sleepy, which is another plus) when i get home from school, then i usually have dance later on in the day, then i do it right before i go to bed. that way through out the day i know i don't forget it and it stays fresh in my mind. and if all of THAT doesn't work, i'd say ask your teacher if you could come to any more classes so she can personally help you.
as far as the other dancers, forget them. all they do is intemidate you and watching someone else can also make you mess up or forget something. don't be so hard on yourself, i bet you do great! everyone learns at a slower pace than everyone else so it's totally okay! you have to work harder for what you want, but that means in the end all of your hard work will put you at top and hopefully in time you'll become even or surpass the other girls in your class! good luck! let me know how things go!
love/advice always,

well ive been taking dance for 9 years now...and what really helps is if you go over each move step by step with someone about 2-3 times...then put on the music and do the dance at a regular pace...and think about what moves are coming up next so you dont go bank..but be careful with doing that, cause sometimes you'll think like 50 seconds ahead of yourself and then mess up really bad

OKay Im not very big on dancing but mayb you could take notes or sumthing. Like spin,jump,spin,jump? Or mayb you could have one of your friends help you stay on track, like after school or something you can practice with her?I hope that helped if not im really sorry <3 lyl good luck! MWA <3always diane

practice, practice, practice! also try not to pay attentiont how other people are doing because that will just throw you off. pay attention to what you yourself are doing.
