Dear Constant Reader,
It’s Friday and time for your tip!
Sing your choreography.
This is a trick we picked up from Betty. If you sing the steps of your dance to the tune of your song, they’re easier to remember.
Just the other day we were talking about an act we haven’t done in nearly a year and ended up chorusing “To the right, to the left, bounce in a circle, shoulder shift!” to the tune of “Little Brown Jug”. I can’t hear the opening of Joe Jackson’s “Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby” without thinking “lunge outward, now turn around, lunge inward, now turn again”.
Try it! It’s fun!
