Kelly Is a Ballet Dancer

Kelly is a ballet dancer.First, she imagines the rectangular dance floor of the stage set for her ballet.Then, she thinks of the major images on the ballet stage she will see during this dance.Next, the places these images in each corner of the dance floor: trees, fields, flowers, and a home.As she learns her dance steps, she associates each major change in step with these images.As she practices on the stage, she recalls the changes in her dance steps based on the stage elements around her.When she visualizes herself performing the dance with perfection, she uses the images on the stage to help guide her through her ballet routine.Kelly's memorization technique is an example of using all of her senses to give her brain a better chance at retaining her ballet routine.
