in step
Moving in unison
In step describes movement synchronized with others, especially when walking or marching: The soldiers marched in step.
Extended to general agreement or harmony: Her views are in step with current thinking.
The opposite is out of step—either literally failing to match rhythm or figuratively being at odds with prevailing attitudes or practices.
