Comment by Ronnie Bradley on October 11, 2009 at 8:46pm - I figured the timing out on this one...breaking the beats down on the 4/4 time, the dancers were dancing on the 8th notes 1&2&... so take the 8th notes on the orchestra's 4/4 time and count 12345. The 5th note on 5/4 lands on the 3rd beat on 4/4 and the next bar on 5/4 starts on the "&" beat on 3 (4/4 time). I drew this out on paper so I can count it out properly.LOL! The bars on 5/4 in this video match up on weird places... beginning bar they're both even. Bar 1 on the dancers' 5/4 is right in the MIDDLE of the 3rd beat on the orchestra's 4/4 piece. Bar 2 on the dancer's 5/4 is in between the 1st and 2nd beat on the 2nd bar of 4/4. I'll try to draw this in mspaint and upload this so it's easier to figure out.
