The origin of the square dance, the ancient poem "Preface to Shi Mao" said: "Emotions move in the middle, actions are in words, and words are not enough, so we lament it, lament its shortcomings, so we chant it, know how to dance with our hands, and dance with our feet." As can be seen from the Book of Songs, there was a square dance from primitive society. Dance is the most primitive and ultimate emotional expression, initially formed as an emotional behavior that is spontaneously generated without any external environment influence. With the continuous progress of human society and the acceleration of civilization, dance has gradually formed two different functions: performance and self-entertainment. There is a certain professional standard in the quality of the program. The performance content can be divided into emotional dance and plot dance. Performers can dance solo, in groups of two or three, or in groups, which have certain aesthetic requirements and standards.
The evolution of square dance, square dance belongs to the category of self-entertainment dance, but it keeps pace with the times. This group of Chinese aunts, whose ultimate goal is fitness, has gradually formed a group with leadership, organization, teaching content and collective activity time in the process of perennial exercise. In order to keep the team members practicing, the team leaders will learn different dances on various video apps, so as to update the teaching content in stages, train the team members to keep their enthusiasm for exercise and make the team more cohesive. Some teams with a little stronger ability will also arrange several shaped dance programs to participate in social activities. It should be said that these processes of keeping pace with the times are all a kind of civilized progress and a good embodiment of a harmonious society.
The future trend of square dance, with the gradual improvement of the level of square dance, students put forward certain learning needs for this kind of self-entertainment dance. Because most of the square dance teachers are amateurs, they have no dance foundation, and their movements are random, with poor coordination and distortion. The trained square dancers all have their own "aunt temperament".
In order to update the content, they will turn to software videos such as Sugar Bean Square Dance, but the video uploaders lack professional level, the action elements are chaotic, the patchwork is strong, the limbs are weak, and the standardization is poor. But even so, it is very popular among fans. It can be seen that this huge team urgently needs correct teaching methods to improve the overall level. Correct dance teaching can make women stand upright, behave gracefully, persist for many years, change their temperament, and show self-restraint in gestures. For example, square dance can not only harvest health but also beauty. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone? The author suggests that the government should increase its support in popularizing training.
