Hi Kyle, I'm hoping you can give me some advice. When I'm in groups at the end of class I get super nervous. If I look up or straight ahead I forget the choreo...but then I don't look confident and that almost seems worse. I don't know what to do.

I totally sympathize with you! I often freak out when called out for groups. My mind immediately goes to, “What if I forget the moves” and “Why am i not matching the person next to me”. Those are the thoughts that preoccupy my brain power instead of using it to remember the moves and this leads to forgetting the choreography. My best advice (besides taking a lot of class) is to put yourself more often in the position of being in front of people. Eventually, the novelty of it all will wear off and you won’t be so concerned about people watching and you can just lose yourself in the choreography. Remember that everyone is just as equally concerned with getting the choreography themselves. :) I hope this advice helps!
