What is the difference between 10-step, 12-step and 16-step square dances? What is the difference between their dance music? Can you give some examples?

We generally know that a three-step dance should use a tune with three-quarter beat, and a four-step dance should use a tune with two-quarter or four-quarter beat.

And the ten, twelve, sixteen, etc. steps in square dancing are not the same concept as what we usually call three- and four-step dancing.

Square dance in a few steps refers to a group of movements consisting of several steps, in a song can be repeated to dance this group of movements. For example, the sixteen-step "Meeting You Is My Fate" is a group of movements composed of sixteen steps, which can be danced repeatedly in the song "Meeting You Is My Fate" until the end of the song.

The same tune can be danced with ten, twelve, sixteen, twenty-four, thirty-two, forty-eight, sixty-four steps and other movements.
