Can't Remember a Dance Routine For My Life?

Question:

Can't Remember a Dance Routine For My Life?

I really like to dance, and I can do most of the moves and I have them down and everything, but I seem to have a problem with memorizing the order and the sequence of the actual dance. Any tips with this?
I try to break the dance up into peices to memorize easier, but that gets complicated, especially when the routine repeats itself. Thanks in advance.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: well when i tried out for my schools dance team last year i had to memorize a dance in like 3DAYS! so i did this and it realllyyyy helped me tons:
as soon as you get home from practice or whatever write down all the counts and steps to your dance on a piece of paper. practice by trying to do the dance and after u do the dance look on your paper and practice on the places you messed up on.also every nite b4 u go to bed study the moves and do the dance in your head for like 15 min.
i did this and when i woke up the next morning i remembered the dance really good.
P.S~ another thing you can do is lay sown on the floor or your bed and play the music to your dance and jus go through the dance in your head a couple of times and then get up and practice the dance!!!
GOOD LUCK!
