practice practice practice!.!.the more you dance!.!.the better you get!.!.it gets easier to pick things up faster and remember them too!. when you get home from dance classes!.!.go over as much of what you remember of what you learnt that day!. don't ever go back to your next dance class without any practice in between!. always try your best in class and eventually it will become easier!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

first off i am going to say dont stress! its okay that your not doing well you just pretty much started for the first time in a while!. all you have to do is keep going to class because missing would put you even more behind!. i would recommend that when the teacher is going over the combination or move do it with her and keep doing it until your class does it together!. and if you remember it when you get home practice it then!. dance is not easy work but once you begin to understand one thing you start to get more and more down!. dont worry it will take time, but i am sure you will get a hang of it!.

you should know how to do a leap, pirouette, splits, kicks, and many other things if you cant remember things though you could always look up moves on videos on youtube or even google a dance website that could give you moves and their definitions (sometimes they even show an example)

good luck with improving and dont worry once again you'll learn it sooner or later all you have to do is practice =]Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have the same problem!.
Here are some things I do!.

1!. I go to the restroom to calm down and go over it in my head and, if time and space permits, even mark it (do it with little effort) in the bathroom!.
2!. If i still dont get it, I just ask the teacher for help!. Even someone beside me who gets it well!.
3!. I look for someone who doesnt know also!. This can be embarrassing when you dont understand it!. Go up to them, and yall can work on it together!.
Hope these help!.
Comment if it does!.
