We are complete beginners;
We want to learn an easy 2-minute dance.
We have three weeks' time.
Not really demanding, as three weeks' time is in fact quite enough for a 2-minute routine. And i do think that 4 to 5 sessions would be enough to learn a routine slightly harder than the simplest one.
But starting from the second session, problems emerge-
We have been busy.
We only practice once.
Um... Since I am quite experienced with the too-busy-to-practice problem, I usually won't write too complicated choreography.
For me I am okay to have a 20-minute's revision before teaching new moves. Most learners also do not mind doing this.
A structured choreography is usually not hard to remember, I sometimes see learners recite every move and step, undoubtedly this helps remember the sequence. However, the memory in the brain is needed but what matters most is to let the body remembers- once your body knows how to move, you don't need to know remember anything.
Muscle memory is important. Everyone knows, even learners themselves knows and keeps saying this in class. But so what?
The reality is, they seldom practice between classes, simply because they are too busy to practice.
And the whole thing becomes a dead knot.
