Speed Demon

A pick-up drill for learning choreography faster. Picking up choreography quickly matters in studio, at convention and in a professional room. This exercise tests three ways to learn three short eight counts.

The first is dancing full out with the teacher, catching the movement live and tensing and squeezing on purpose. The second is standing and observing before you move, so all your attention goes to the details. The third is facing a new direction, which makes it a new dance and locks it into memory.

Every brain works differently. Combine them, or find your own.
