Members elsongs Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 Ever notice that dancers count off "5-6-7-8" when us musicians count off "1-2-3-4"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BobFromReboot Posted June 4, 2007 Members Share Posted June 4, 2007 Because dancers are morons. It's because of them that disco and hip hop exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kuhnfyoozed Posted June 5, 2007 Members Share Posted June 5, 2007 I didn't know that dancers did 5-6-7-8, but I know most marching bands do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChordGirl Posted June 5, 2007 Members Share Posted June 5, 2007 A lot of dance patterns fall in counts of eight, at least in 'modern' jazz and tap dancing, which I took as a kid. I believe the box trot also does this--four counts starting with the right foot, then four counts starting with the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
