Your regular attendees have mastered the dance choreography in your 6PM class. In order to bring a little flavor to the mix, you introduce a variation on the theme by intentionally shifting the accent of your movements off the dominant or “normal” accent of the beat. This rhythmic stylizing is known as:
  1. Entrainment
  2. Syncopation
  3. Temporal displacement
  4. Beat induction
Explanation
Answer: B - Syncopation, the act of intentionally introducing accents which are in some way unexpected, can be used by the Group Fitness Instructor to liven up the choreography of a class. However, it is important to remember that though syncopation may add interest, there are advantages to using predictable patterns in choreography. Too many variations on a theme may prevent your class members from committing fully to their movements or finding pleasure in anticipation.
