It always helped me the following:

1- Imagine the movements as a design on stage, for example, if you lift your right arm and then extend it to the right, visualize that design on space

2- Other effective way is to translate movements into sounds (hard to explain in here), for example, give each movements a sound, in this way you translate movement into aural inputs, this is another tool that helps you remember.

3- Write the movements in a notebook, which you can consult in case you have doubts

4-Explore by rehearsing, perhaps you find you own method ;-)

5- Have patience ;-)

Nevertheless, remember that to learn a combination of movements needs mental practice. After class or rehearsal when going back home, or at home while relaxing, make a mental picture (as a film) of the movements you rehearsed that day.
If you keep doing them over and over, or have someone video tape you doing them then watching that .
Get to know the song your dancing to cuz when you do you just have to remember that a certain note in the song has a step to go with that part, you should be able to hear it in the music... Or just count your steps you should know that a certain count you should be at a certain place or position.... And the best i can tell you is practice practice practice... Keep doing it and keep letting it go over in your head....
have someone watch you, do them over and over again, and take notes! then after you get them down you can show off your sweet dance moves at the club or a school dance!
