Learn the figures and their names and it'll loosen up a lot of time for style. Dance Memory . This might be called sequence memory. It's remembering the sequence of figures as you dance. We callers often stop calling contras as people start remembering the dance.
Some dances flow.
Some seem impossible to recall. But like everything, the more you practice, the easier it gets. There's another level of dance memory as well. That comes when you start remembering whole dances, along with their names. If you like a dance, take note of it, write it down, request it, give it to your local callers to call, and learn it.
