Have the girl study music and learn to play a few instruments then she would probably learn how to keep a beat well that's how i learned

People who learn moves but can not keep the beat usually are concentrating on the moves, and are not listening to the music!. Tell them that the music is the whole reason for being there, and they HAVE to listen to it, and the moves come secondary!
They may need more practice to know the routine better before the music comes on, so they don't have to think so hard about the moves!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, you can see about helping her for about an hour on the weekends!. See if that helps her out!.!.!.!.!.maybe it will, you never know until you try!. Or you could get her a tape that helps people dance, or learn how to!. (In her case getting down the beat!) And she could pratice at home!. Just give her a little time, she'll get it! ;-)

Maybe use the metronome and put it on for a while and make him tap a pen on a desk with the metronome!.

or play a song and tell him to adjust the metronome so that the beat of the metronome matches the song!.

I did them, and it was fun for me!. I also got some sense of rhythm!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can try using a metranome!.!.!. but something that would help with rhythm is guitar hero!.!.!. i dont know if it would help for her!.!.!. but!. its worth a try! also just making her tap her foot with beats or counting the beats while she dancesWww@QuestionHome@Com

You know, some people just can't! Have her count out loud to the music, clap, whatever, but some people just can't!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
