"Phil. You couldn't possibly dance to to Greenwaves.The first eight bars you could. Then up to the 4th bar in the second phrase you would have to stand still or Hover. the 8th bar of music isn't there at all."

Utterly clueless.

Yes, the song drops out for part of a measure, but not a complete one. Any skilled dancer would have no trouble bridging that gap without thought. Because it's obviously a dance recording, we know it will pick up as if it had never dropped out.

I wrote a message. It got lost somehow. It went roughly like this. The phrasing by the singer can easily be picked up. On every second eight bar phrasing she starts a new phrase on what would be the eighth. Now eight becomes one. If your routine is choreographed to eight bar phrasing you will get out of phrase within your routine . At the end of the dance you will be four bars out. Did you notice how in phrase the dancers are on that Blackpool video. Watch Crossley in the corner.

"This I was told.If we get our two quicks, in fact all our quicks on the black dots"

Wrong. See

Also, you might take minute to measure the interval between the two quicks on the blackpool video: in SQQ figures it's well more than a beat, confirming the information in the above link.
