This always bugged me. Splitting music into chunks of eight beats seems to be a standard. Splitting music into chunks of eight Ceroc counts would be weird, but doable, but that's not something that's taught in Ceroc - instead, the count during moves goes 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10... 11... 12... 13... (etc, etc).

How about "3, 2, 1, go"?
