What I used to do was try, during a class, to predict where the teacher would come in on the "5..6..7..8" when a move was done to music.
{Lorna was/is a music teacher, so I guess this helped a bit}

but the general "listen to the music" advice is what I would follow.

The other thing mentioned was turning on one beat - so many beginner ladies turn too fast and either feel aquard as there is a 'half beat' of doing nothing, or throw the man off his beat: Try and turn in 90 degree segments to start with, then a full 180, then a slow 180 (taking two beats)
