Tempo

[JiverSteve]

What is the technical reason for most music or dance classes starting with the call. Five, six seven and eight. Why Eight or occasionally four

[sft42]

Because most modern music is written is standard 4/4 rhythm or if you remember music classes at school four beats to the bar. the exception to this is the waltz which has 3 beats. if you want to prove this listen to any song on the radio and tap out the beats you'll soon see that nearly all song are written this way.
