Restore a forgotten combo through targeted recall tests, section anchors, transition repairs, and music checks.

We'll use them to write your prompt.

Make Your Play

Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.

Recover choreography without wasting limited rehearsal time on repeated full runs that hide the actual memory break.

Your answers save as you type.

What you'll do

This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.

01 Set the recovery boundary Limit the session to the first real memory break and choose a safe effort level before running anything.
02 Test the opening cold Check how far reliable recall lasts before music or repeated attempts start supplying extra clues.
03 Pinpoint the blank edge Turn a vague forgotten section into a precise gap with a clear entry and exit.
04 Install three phrase anchors Give the damaged phrase clear recall points instead of depending on uninterrupted memory.
05 Verify the missing movement Restore the actual choreography from a trusted source and separate confirmed details from guesses.
06 Rebuild backward Strengthen the destination first, then add earlier movements so the phrase stops collapsing near its end.
07 Repair both seams Treat entry and exit transitions as separate memory jobs before reconnecting the whole section.
08 Lock onto the music Connect movement anchors to audible cues rather than relying only on counted repetition.
09 Pressure-test recall Check whether the repair works without always approaching it from the same opening sequence.
10 Build the next-day proof card Capture only the cues needed to stop the same gap from returning at the next rehearsal.

Use this when

A combo felt secure yesterday but now has blanks, late transitions, mixed-up sections, or counts that disappear once the music starts.

You'll need

  • Combo context
  • Combo duration
  • Time available
  • Opening recall
  • Suspected blank
  • Known anchors
  • Music cue
  • Source reference status
  • Current effort level

Fill these in the prompt workspace.

You'll get

  • A clean opening recall test without music
  • The exact edge between certain and uncertain movement identified
  • Start, middle, and end anchors recorded for the repaired phrase
  • The uncertain phrase confirmed against a trusted source or clearly flagged for confirmation
  • Both adjoining transitions completed three times without a blank
  • The repaired phrase matched to its music cue

By the end of this playbook

You will have:

  • Start, middle, and end anchors recorded for the repaired phrase
  • The uncertain phrase confirmed against a trusted source or clearly flagged for confirmation
