There is no scientific explanation, this kind of thing is basically a benevolent thing, there are many elderly people, but after all, not all the elderly like to dance in the public square dance. Then part of the elderly like to dance in the square, in my opinion, there are several reasons:
Elderly people have withdrawn from the main social stage, but some of the elderly still have light and heat need to be shown in the community, they are eager to be seen by the community, eager to show their own, then the square dance has become a stage for them to show their own, and they are happy to be in, and want to be seen! They want to be seen by everyone!
After all, human beings are animals that live in groups, and as the elderly, their families do not need them to support, and their children are far away from their sight, the square dance has become a stage for them to gather the elderly, not only for fitness, but also to establish a bridge of communication with the community, so why wouldn't they be willing to do it?
Some people say that the Japanese elderly also like square dancing, but they do it indoors. I think there is a difference with the culture of the region, Japan is limited in area, people are relatively more introverted, do not like group activities. The Chinese are relatively more open, and prefer group activities, which is why there are square dances in public.
The square dance, to have a tolerant mind. Retired seniors, no more units, out of the organization, in addition to busy chores at home, there is a fitness demand, there is a need to integrate a collective for communication, so they get together, square dancing. Not in the public square dance, where can they go?
Our country has entered a geriatric society with a large elderly population. And there are very few public **** fitness and recreation centers for them. Although there are some entertainment clubs, fitness clubs, but the charges are high, that is exclusively for young people or a few rich people to provide services. The majority of elderly people, to fitness and entertainment, only to go to the large and small squares, there is no choice.
A harmonious and civilized society, should be respect for the elderly and love the elderly society, so that the elderly have a sense of security, the elderly have fun society. For the elderly square dancing, give more understanding and support.
