Most dancers count their choreography from 1 to 8 (a lot like how musicians are constantly counting as well). Their vocal count is just to make sure everyone is in time before the first bar (first time they count “1”).

They don’t need to start counting all the way from 1, cuz that’s just tedious. So they give the last half of a bar [1234]5678 to get in time before the first bar.
