Try taking modern dance. They have the huge choreography that you need to memorize, with like 19 degrees of freedom and then 40 minutes through the class the instructor says, "flip it over" and you need to perform the mirror image of all those movements. You can't handle the chirality!

Truth. Sometimes the modern dance movements don’t even have names; it’s a wiggle in this direction or that, so you’re using either photo- or kinesthetic memory to mimic and remember if you’re able.
