I wonder if this will be replicable?

  The movement coordination phenomenon has been replicated in a general sense. I think I was reading some articles a few weeks ago about general movement coordination (body, face, head) being predictive of increased attraction.
  There's also stuff like this:

  I'm less sure about the music part. My guess is it's not about groove in particular but something else about music preferences or something, but who knows.

    I do something I call “rapid synchronization” to do street photography as a Huli Jing. If I am getting a 60% take rate I think “damn, I am off my game and need to regroup” and can usually get to 80-95% statiatically and 100% emotionally.
    I understand how to project a “glamour” by using relaxation and grounding exercises and that is pretty powerful in itself but I don’t quite know how to articulate the rest of it. Sometimes people freeze up in my presence, but 90 seconds of rapid synchronization are safe and effective. 90 minutes is a different matter. It does have something to do with physiological pacing and synchronizing.
