I’m counting the claps on 2, 4, 6, & 7. I think you may be missing the first beat, which is comparatively silent. When you hear the first clap, count it as “two” and go from there.
(one) TWO three FOUR five SIX SEVEN
one TWO three FOUR five SIX SEVEN
one TWO three FOUR five SIX SEVEN
one TWO three FOUR five SIX SEVEN
The dancers take the fun, giant steps on SIX SEVEN. And then when the piano really gets going, you’ll notice how each little piano phrase fits into a seven-beat measure.
In counting beats, the word “and” means the second half of one beat. To include “ands” in the count above, you’d have to count one through seven just as fast as before while quickly fitting in an “and” after each number.
