at first it is kind of hard, it takes a lot of concenrtation and usually you will get out of breath at first!. first learn the music and choreo seperately to the point where you can do both alone without thinking about what comes next!. this will take lots of practice, but you can do it!. then sing your song a couple times and as you do, think about what steps you are to be doing!. picture yourself doing the movements!. then sing the song another couple of times, this time just "marking" the moves!.!.!. not doing them full out, but kinda like walking them out!. finally just keep practicing and eventually tou'll be able to do the 2 together without any trouble!. as for the out of breath issue, work on both cardio and breathing exercises every day -- not at the same thime :)-- this will help build your stamina and strenghten your lungs!. good luck in your show!. with a little practice you'll be great!! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

its really hard when you're just beginning!. you might want to learn the song first, and once you have that memorized it will be much easier for you to concentrate on the dancing!. if you put lots of practice, determination, and effort into it, im sure your production will look great by opening night!.
