Hey there Richard A M. - I think remembering patterns is something we all struggle with from time to time...you're not alone! What a lot of my students do is make mini routines, maybe 3-5 patterns that they put together to remember some tricker or favorite moves they want to incorporate, so you don't have to remember a full 1.5-2 min sequence. That's a lot! The other thing is to write down a list of all the patterns you know for different styles - that's another way to see what you have to work with and what you remember off the top of your head. Another thing we have our students do is video all of the class recaps, so they can go home and look over the patterns to either relearn or try to get more comfortable (even if you don't have a partner!) Hope those help!! Let me know if there's anything else we can do to help! Happy dancing!

Charles E. A. because it comes out of nowhere! Thus the surprise part. 😀Quick hands for a quick lead - otherwise the normal ending works great too!
