Position:Home>Dancing> Dancing with Counts.?Question: Dancing with Counts!.!? Okay,I'm 12 years old & have been dancing for 2 years going in my third but , I have a problem, I can't dance with counts :| (like I can't dance & go 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 in my head),instead I no the moves to the music!. I'm a good dancer, but its affecting my dance career cause when my instructor asks too see the dance without music I freeze & have to copy off other dancers , which is bad cause I want a solo career!.
