Tryouts: Dance

When learning the dance, be sure that you are in a good place where you can see what is being taught, instead of just sort of getting it in the back.

Ask questions whenever you don't understand something. Don't feel bad if you don't catch on the very first day. Chances are you're not the only one having difficulty.

See if you can get a copy of the music for dances.

Practicing with just counts is good, but you need to get familiar with the beat of the music. If you have the music you can practice at home.

PRACTICE as much as you can. If don't have time to practice physically, practice mentally. Imagine yourself doing all the moves perfectly in your head. Even though it doesn't sound like it will help, it really does because it helps you to be able to remember the moves without thinking about it when you go to tryout.

Every time you practice, even when you are learning, do all the moves full out and hit every motion really sharp. This will help it become natural.
