rhythmic movement
Motion with tempo
Rhythmic movement is motion that follows a regular, repeated pattern—the rhythmic movement of waves, of breathing, of a dancer's steps.
The phrase appears in contexts from music and exercise to child development, where rhythmic movements like rocking or swaying help regulate the nervous system.
