Dancer A:
Initially, square dances were calculated by steps, such as eight, twelve, sixteen, twenty, twenty-four, thirty-two, sixty-four, etc. Nowadays, square dances are arranged according to music, basically by groups of four eight beats or six eight beats (except for three steps).
Nowadays, square dances are choreographed according to the music, basically according to the group, each group of four eight beats, or six eight beats (except for the three-step dance), divided into introductory movements, interlude movements, ending movements, and intermediate movements. Nowadays, the dance is getting more and more perfect, and you can't just dance by steps.
Dancer B:
I can answer you: counting from the first step, to the second cycle of jumping, between how many steps, this dance is how many steps.
The number of steps is fixed from the beginning to the end, for example: 16 steps, 20 steps, 24 steps, etc.
Dancer C:
Square dance itself is very casual, not so much to pay attention to, as long as and the beat of the music can dance on it.
As for how many steps, they are all made up by people, you are willing to make up a few steps on a few steps. If the song is over, then it's over, and if the song isn't over, then it's over. There's no standard for this, and there's no right or wrong.
You can make up your own steps in order to get the rhythm right. The distinction between the steps is for the sake of better learning, a general understanding of the line ~ I wish you more and more beautiful dance!
