I can't remember the moves!

Recently 2 students asked me the same question:
"I've attended many classes but I can't seem to remember the moves I've learnt before, what can I do?"

My answer? It can actually be found in a few other posts in this blog, e.g. "using technology", "Practice Partners", etc.

But I'll summarize it here again
1) I arrange my favourite moves into a FIXED seuqnce. The FIXED sequence part is important as it will make it EASY TO REMMEBER (this is related to a post explaining why we learn a choreography)
2) Use the SAME SEQUENCE, on EVERY GIRL I can get to dance with. (This is related to the Practice Partners Post). The purpoes of doing so, is to make the moves in this sequence part of muscle memory
3) Tear the sequence apart, find a way to jumble the order and randomly apply them. (Related to JigSaw Puzzle post). If you are able to do this, congratz. You had just mastered all the moves in the sequence!
4) Add one new move into this sequence :)

Meanwhile, as you should still be attending clases and learning new stuff, do not be in too big a hurry to use the new stuff before you had mastered the old ones.

If you are afraid of forgetting the new things you have just learnt, just use a digicam and video the moves (ask a classmate to help). This is related to the (use technology post).

THere. That was how I did it. I told the 2 students who asked me this question about my approach. But somehow they didn't seem to want to do it my way.. Well.. I tried. Haiz.
