dance breaks
Choreography rest moments
Dance breaks are moments in a song, performance, or event when the music shifts to encourage dancing, or pauses in activity specifically for dancing.
In music, a dance break is an instrumental section that departs from the main melody to feature a driving beat: The song builds to an epic dance break in the middle.
In performances, especially pop concerts, dance breaks showcase choreography while the singer catches their breath.
The term also describes informal pauses during work or study for quick bursts of movement: We take dance breaks every hour to stay energized.
