Rhythmic adult contemporary is a format used on stations in the United States and Canada, similar to rhythmic top 40 radio. Like many adult contemporary radio stations, rhythmic AC stations often would not play rap. It usually gears toward an older audience, ages 25 to 54. Often stations using this format play a great deal of disco from the 1970s and early 1980s, dance/pop music, dance/freestyle of the 1980s and house music of the late 80's/early 1990s. These stations often compete with rhythmic top 40 stations as well as other adult contemporary stations. The first rhythmic AC station debuted in 1999 with CFGL-FM in Montreal, Quebec, Canada by using the "Rythme FM" name. Recently, there has been a trend of several stations in the United States switching to the rhythmic AC format using the brand Movin.

Rhythmic AC stations also play "Classic Dance Flashbacks" of dance music ten years or older. Some radio stations usually play soft dance music on weeknights. News and weather announcements play a major part in this format unlike their younger counterparts. Also, many radio stations using this format often play a great deal of disco heavily on weekend nights.
