Wild Wednesday Memorize
Today’s Link of the Day is a great article that describes in detail the
various methods dancers use to memorize choreography. The method(s) used will
be different for each dancer, but the basic rule is to memorize in sections, or
chunks.
It is said that the average person can
only effectively remember five things at a time, so even a short combination at
barre will exceed this. That’s why breaking any set of steps into smaller
chunks is one of the most successful ways to memorize. But there are many other
tricks for memorization, and this article details them.
Each dancer may also have their own personal memory tricks. The important thing is to explore and discover which things work
best for you.
