The ability to pick up choreography quickly makes you a valuable dancer. Unfortunately, the best way to improve your choreography recall is to… just have more years of dance experience. The number of hours you spend in the dance studio, the number of teachers you learn from, the time you spend on each dance style… all of those contribute to being able to pick up choreography quickly. While my 1 tip is to take as many dance classes as you can, with as many different teachers as you can, these following tips will also make a great impact on your ability to pick up choreography. The more advanced the dance class, the greater the teaching speed. Teachers of an advanced class will assume you already have a grasp of the basics, and take less time to explain the steps.
