English term or phrase: miss a beat
Sir Peter hosted scores of international television specials and benefit concerts for UNICEF, always artfully blending entertainment and education to bring worldwide attention to the issues facing the world’s children. He did it with humour and aplomb. Hosting his first gala, at Paris’ Odeon Theatre in 1969, he didn’t miss a beat when a Polish National Ballet dancer portraying a mountaineer accidentally chopped his microphone cord. Sir Peter simply continued as planned, shouting at the audience for the rest of the evening

agree  Malika Lakbiach: I agree with your translation. "Not to miss a beat" simply means "not to pause". Note to the asker: "Not to miss a beat" should not be classified under government/ politics terminology, it is an idiom.
