Some good replies above

(even got an email from gadget suggestiing I write a computer program to automatically generate dance routines from a list of moves.. If I could do that, I'd just wire it into my shoes and I'd never worry again! <g>)

Back on topic.

What I'm trying to get at is there must be some recommended number of moves containing a selection of LH , RH and transition moves to allow a good routine to be constructed.

My Main problem is I know (perhaps not very well) the list of moves above. I'm ok in the beginners section as I've memorise the "routine" parrot fashion. But when it comes to freestyle and I try and link in different moves I keep getting stuffed. My brain doesn't seem to process the moves fast enough, do I want ot go from a LH to another LH ? do I want to switch? Oops too late I've missed my chance. And because I'm thinking so much about the moves I'm going to do next, I mess up the moves I'm doing now, which makes me feel awkward and ungainly and my confidence flies out the dance hall faster than a fleeing golden snitch!

I cna't make up a routine before hand as I don't know what music I'll be dancing to! Unless I only dance to certain tracks? <g>

suggestions?

Thanks Pete
