Isabelle's a 9 year old girl that loves to dance and show off her dancing skills. Next Friday Isabelle has a dance competition and she is ready to show the judges all of her dances. Isabelle has been dancing for many years so when she steps on the stage her automatic processes make her dancing look effortless. 

During dance class Isabelle sometimes has to use effortless processing to remember all of the steps and dance moves. When trying to remember the steps she uses visual encoding by drawing pictures of what she feels like shes doing when she's doing these dance moves. 

Isabelle had an older sister that danced all her life. Isabelle looked up to her. Isabelle's sister taught her at a young age about learning more about music that she would dance to and how she would "dance like she was in the song." She taught her about acoustic encoding and how to comprehend what she was listening to. She did the same with semantic encoding she would ask Isabelle what she pictured when she read the lyrics of the song and it would help her remember it. Because of all these skills Isabelle's sister taught her, her explicit memory at school was very good and she could remember alot of information. 

Dancing has always been easy to Isabelle and all of her dances from the past are in her long term and implicit memory. She remembers things from her short term memory easier but can still remember things from the past as well. 

This week is Isabelles last week of rehearsals before her performance she is very nervous but is also excited to show her family and friends all of the dances she has been taught. 

Today is Isabelle's last practice she is doing very well and is recalling all her steps. Some of her team mates had to relearn some of the dances because they weren't as advanced as Isabelle.

Isabelle tries to help some of her teammates out by teaching them something called priming. Every time they do a certain part in a dance she will say a certain word or show them a specific thing to remember when doing different steps. 

It was Isabelle's big day its finally the day of the performance b there is one big problem! One of the girls got sick so they have to redo some parts of the dance. Isabelle was scared of proactive and retroactive because she had learned and practiced certain moves for so long. After they respaced there dance Isabelle and her friends got a hang of it and were ready to perform. 

The performance was great! All the dancers remembered there dances and didn't have repression. The audience cheered and Isabelle's mom, dad, and her older sister were very proud of her performance!
