How can i quickly get better at ballet?

I started ballet about 3 months geleden (one uur class 1X a week) and we have a recital coming up. I'm okay at the basics in class but I don't know how to get better. I try and practice at home. My teacher says I have natural turnout and a "beautiful point any ballerina would kill for". I'm not trying to brag. I can't seem to memorize the dance and my friend came to watch me for the last 10 minuten and i messed up the alomst the whole first half of my routine.I always seem to mess up when people watch me. And i was blushing the whole time. I do not want that to happen when I perform on stage!! I feel like I suck. But i love dance. Like I seriously love it. I want to go a performing arts HS and college, thats how bad I want it. Anyways, do u have any tips on how i can get better on memorizing + piroettes( I think I spelled that wrong)?? Also, I want to continue ballet so what should i do over the summer? Thanks! :)

keep working, do u use RAD? of is it somthing like cecchetti? try to buy a CD of DVD so u can practice over the summer,
as for the recital, just keep practicing. if u keep working at the routine and go through it slowly working on each little bit, and try to use the muziek to figure out which bit goes where, trust me if u work harder and harder everyday, the tecnique will come naturally and u can just think about the movements, also when you're up there on the stage, think ahead, i used to forget my dances all the time and run off stage, but ever since i started thinking ahead and singing the movements in my head, i haven't forgotten since.
when u are on the stage with the lights shining on you, there's not much chance you'll be able to see the audience anyway.
word of advise, replace any sweets, choolates and crispswith fruits up until the recital because you'll have meer energy and you'll feel better and u won't ache as much
i hope this helps xxx

Well the first thing in your situation is to obviously practice your choreagraphy. To get better at ballet, u need to take meer than 1 uur of ballet a week. I have a 2 uur class everyday of ballet and I still need meer to improve. The meer u learn and practice along with determination and commitment, u will progress.

Ballet isn't something u can get better at quickly. It takes time and effort. Tears and sweat
