What It Points To
Section titled “What It Points To”Some people hold a group together through timing. They feel when the pace is slipping and bring everyone back into one beat. This is not just making sound. The rhythm gives bodies a shared track to follow. You’d see this in the person at a pep rally who starts the clap again after it falls apart.
