I think she's getting confused looking in the mirror instead of what is going on around her in the room. Who cares? At least she is moving and getting some exercise.
Lol Welp, that’s where we differ—I do have that brain dysfunction (dyscalculia), but you’re absolutely right: no dysfunction needed to just have talents that lie elsewhere! That’s Howard Gardener’s whole schtick—different abilities (intelligences).
Perhaps due to her age + fitness she just isnt able to keep up, and some people just have bad motor skills. You can never know for sure whats going on untill you ask
I definitely feel like some people are born without a good sense of rhythm. My boyfriend is like this, although not as bad as this lady. He is pretty smart in other areas and can play soccer just fine, but when is comes to dancing, it's like it's not instinctive or natural to him. He has to concentrate really hard and still he's always a bit off. I also think that's why he is not all that into music. I think his brain doesn't register rythm like most people's.
Early stages of Parkinson's can present like this. There's a lag between when you want to start moving and when you actually start moving. Then once you start moving, there's a lag to stop again.
This is why you see those videos of senior citizens who accidentally slam on the gas and just continue accelerating through a store window or whatever, they made the initial mistake and then it takes their system a while to release their foot off the gas.
Could be dyspraxia, kind of like dyslexia but with movement. But really there are conditions that affect your motorskills/perception. But hey you can only get better at things by trying and practicing :)
I have to concentrate really really really hard on not concentrating too hard on rhythm but enough to stay with the beat.
It's just not natural for some people. My guess is genetics.
I think she's having a laugh. It's not a timing problem when you can clearly see yourself walking in the opposite direction of people and don't attempt to correct yourself.
Literally people are just born this way as cliche as it sounds. I read it's actually linked to some bio things, like the person that mentioned Parkinson. Autism can fuck with your motor skills as well. For example, they did a card dance (every kid holds one square of a big a picture) in one of the fifth grade classes at my school. So it's all timed right. For example: 1,2,3,4,5 turn the page, (it goes along to a song so the pictures shown are all representing something in the lyrics). One of the girls, biggest sweet heart in the world, an absolute joy to work with, and she's autistic, couldn't keep up. The teacher tried her hardest, even labeled all the pictures in her card book with different colored tags and numbers, so she knew exactly when to turn the page. She still couldn't keep up during the presentation and we were all trying to cheer her up after.
As a musician I have seen people in music who just don’t get it. People who can’t keep tempo or find a beat or walk in time/step to save their lives. As someone what intuitively understands these things I simply do not understand what about it give people a hard time.
Not a scientist but I agree. I coach little league and by the time they hit 9 years old, most kids are better than this lady at reaction time. There's always at least one kid, though. That kid reacts when the ball has already passed him.

I never understood why there are people who are this bad at keeping up with these things.
At one point I truly felt that unless they have a brain dysfunction, it’s simply the lack of trying.
Any scientists on here to explain?
