[quote=Anonymous]If she can't count music, does the song have lyrics? Ask the teacher if you can videotape her doing the dance. If it is a beginner dance, it is probably very 8 count-ish. There should be obvious moments of transitions, which probably go along with the lyrics and specific music crescendos and moments. Give your daughter cues from the lyrics which match the transitions, so she can have spots in the dance where she can regroup with what she is supposed to be doing. Your daughter just might not hear the music or beat. Some kids never do. Add that to being generally uncoordinated, and it can get tricky. You need to help her through this, without making her feel worse than she probably already does. Don't pull her from recital. That would be heartless, and will stay with her forever.[/quote]
