Entrainment in the biomusicological sense refers to the synchronization (e.g., foot tapping) of organisms to an external perceived rhythm such as human music and dance. Humans are the only species for which all individuals experience entrainment, although there are documented examples of entrained nonhuman individuals.
The basic step, basic figure, basic movement, basic pattern, or simply basic is the dance move that defines the character of a particular dance.It sets the rhythm of the dance; [1] it is the default move to which a dancer returns, when not performing any other moves.
More precisely, choreomusicology grew out of Euro-American performance traditions that considered musical composition and dance choreography as separate specialties.

In Ottoman musical theory, aksak (Ottoman Turkish: آغساق, romanized: aġsak) is a rhythmic system in which pieces or sequences, executed in a fast tempo, are based on the uninterrupted reiteration of a matrix, which results from the juxtaposition of rhythmic cells based on the alternation of binary and ternary quantities, as in 2+3, 2+2+3, 2+3+3, etc.
The Euclidean rhythm in music was discovered by Godfried Toussaint in 2004 and is described in a 2005 paper "The Euclidean Algorithm Generates Traditional Musical Rhythms". [1] The greatest common divisor of two numbers is used rhythmically giving the number of beats and silences, generating almost all of the most important world music rhythms ...
All these songs use twelve-bar blues riffs, and most of these riffs probably precede the examples given (Covach 2005, p. 71). In classical music, individual musical phrases used as the basis of classical music pieces are called ostinatos or simply phrases. Contemporary jazz writers also use riff- or lick-like ostinatos in modal music and Latin ...
