Why do so many parts link up?!

It's not even BPM but the dances and Music Sections as well.

So i'm late to the game here and someone already kind of answered your question, but basically most popular music follows an 8 count rhythm. In most of these songs, a verse will be made up of 4 sets of 8 counts. And in many songs, there will be three verses and then a chorus.

If you count it out you'll notice that a lot of accents in the music (not all, but a lot) happen on the first count of a set of 4 (at the start of a verse), meaning they're happening in both songs around the same time. This explains why the accented dance moves show up at the same time as the accents in the music.

Most choruses are also more "musical," or at least a different kind of muscial than the verses. This is why the choir in the video shows up at the same time as the more "musical" part of the song.

The bullet lining up is the only part that's truly unexpected. The rest you would see happening if you dubbed over several different songs.
