In contrast, square dance exchanges focus more on communication and interaction between square dance enthusiasts. Such events are usually organized in smaller venues, such as community squares and parks, for square dance enthusiasts to communicate, learn and share. Square dancers can show off their dancing skills, learn new dance moves and choreography from other dancers, and exchange experiences and skills with each other. The exchanges usually have instructors or professional dance instructors guiding people and organizing some training courses or seminars.
In summary, square dance exchange performances focus on showcasing and appreciating square dance performances for a wider audience; while square dance exchange meetings focus on exchanging and learning among square dance enthusiasts, providing a platform for mutual learning, sharing and progress. These two activities are different in form, scale and purpose.
