Canter Rhythm
Canter time, canter timing or canter rhythm is a two-beat regular rhythmic pattern of a musical instrument or in dance steps within time music. The term is borrowed from the canter horse gait, which sounds three hoof beats followed by a pause, i.e., 3 accents in time.

In modern ballroom dancing, an example is the Canter Pivot in the Viennese Waltz.
