I know nothing about dance, especially interpretive dance, but from what I understand dancers are able to “feel” the music and shape their dancing to it.

I learned about _Street Woman Fighter_, a Korean reality show where Korean dance groups battle in freestyle and self choregraphed dances from a Korean variety show _Knowing Bros / Ask Me Anything / Men on a Mission_ where the group leaders appeared as guests.

Group leaders Honey J in the sleeveless top and Ri Hey in the long sleeves.are having battling freestyle and [@7:46](https://youtu.be/BrnmLe7hS38?t=468) they do the exact same move in perfect sync, then [@8:13](https://youtu.be/BrnmLe7hS38?t=493) they do another move again in near perfect sync.

The explanation given on _[Knowing Bros](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6beYIup-xE0)_ is that because Ri Hey used to be in the same group for seven years, they learned/ / developed the same moves. But to be in sync during a freestyle battle? How likely is that? Is this as amazing as everyone makes it out to be?

I know that musicians sometimes use certain riffs when they’re improvising, but would say, two guitarists use the exact same riff at the exact same time?

To my untrained, non-critical eye, I recognize that many of their moves are nearly the same throughout their battle, but the exact same move at the exact same time?
