Well, I have found that breaking them into one bar or a couple at the most works best for learning, as well as dancing thereafter. If your partner on the dancefloor is not big on shines, she will be left hanging if you try to do a whole sequence. So, let that determine how many bars u can go... Also look for patterns, in the shine, which will help u to remember it. How many left footers, right footers, do ur steps create a design on the floor, etc... Sound idiosyncratic lol?
