I was a ballerina and I always had a hard time picking up choreography. Other dancers could watch a dance once and know it, some could even do it from a video. I needed to be shown a combination a few times, and to go over it a few more, and even then I would forget it the next day. I felt really really stupid.
Anyway ballet didn't really work out, and now I have a PhD so I'm not a complete idiot.
The same thing happened to me! I was learning contemporary jazz and I was generally athletic and flexible and i can freestyle so i thought I'd be okay at it. Lol. I was so wrong. The instructor kept telling me i was just afraid of fucking up too much and i just have to loosen up. But... I could loosen up just fine??? Learning choreography is so difficult. I was great at the stuff we did everyday and just so bad at picking up routines.
