danceability
Makes you move
Danceability is how well a piece of music lends itself to dancing—its rhythm, tempo, and beat strength.
The term gained currency through music streaming services that algorithmically score tracks: The playlist was sorted by danceability.
A song with high danceability has a steady, pronounced beat that makes movement feel natural.
