waved their hands to the beat of the music
At the concert, all the fans waved their hands to the beat of the music.
At the concert, all the fans waved their hands in sync with the beat of the music.
I doubt that both of the above versions sound equally right and convey the same concept. Thanks.

Hi Angliholic The two sentences suggest pretty much the same thing to me (not a lot, actually), but the second one leaves a bit less room for doubt about how the fans were waving their hands. To be honest, though, I really can't picture this sort of waving at all. Were they waving their hands back and forth, side to side, or were they basically rotating their hands?

Thanks, Yankee, for the clear reply.
It's just a stand-alone sample. Don't take its physical meaning to heart.
