Dancers count 5, 6, 7, 8 as a preparation before the actual choreography begins on beat 1.

• The underlying pulse of most songs divides into sets of four counts.
• An 8-count phrase covers two bars of music and helps structure movement sequences.
• Counting 5-6-7-8 alerts everyone that the choreography will start on the next beat 1.

Think of 5-6-7-8 as a countdown that ends right before the action begins.
