Description
Unlike other cultural dance, this dance can be commonly seen in parks in residential areas. Although the Exercise dance can be traced back to the ancient China, it was in the 1990s when it developed its modern sense. The dance is mostly danced by retired women, who has lots of extra time. Thus, partly for cheap exercise, these women dance in squares in the parks. The dance moves are very easy to follow and repetitive that foreigners and other locals may also join in with the women and dance together in a square.
