Square dance

Hot 4626 views. 2015-10-22 19:28 | dancing, people, dance

Quite often, we see people dancing in squres and parks, most of them are elder ladies retired from work. In the morning or the evening, they dance to some folk music played from a tape recorder or a loudspeaker connected to an iPad loudly. They do some simple postures together on the ground or follow a skilled aunt-like woman who dances well in the head of group. This is a nice method to consume spare time and enhance health for the old.

While the young people, who perfer to have full sleep, sometimes feel negative when the old is dancing, particulary in the living community. They can not rest up well in the night or are awaken from dance music in the early morning. Complaints often generate in the condition which are easily to escalate to conflicts. If there are no effective solutions to solve.

Do you have that kind of experience?

Yes, something like that.  And I also heard of news that a young couple rushed into the dancing group and threatened them that if they kept doing like that, the couple would drive them away even in violence.

That is a problem.

Square dancing is also popular in my city. Every evening around 8pm, those aunties would come out in groups to dance to the blaring music. At first, they didn't care and dance right next to residential homes. Some even started collecting money from spectators. Residents started complaining and they finally danced away from the residents and toned down their music.

The elders do have to own right to enjoy their evenings but they should be considerate and think about others who want to have a quiet rest after a hard days work.

Honestly speaking, I really don't care whether they dance in the early or late at night. I am a sound sleeper. Once I lie on the bed, I would sleep deeply. And I often kid with my friends: when I am in deep sleep, they move to other room, I still sleep deeply.
In fact,  square dance may cause some prbolems, and we often read some negtive news on net, newspapers,etc.
Instead of making a complain, we may find a public square which is a little bit far away from the neibourhood, when play music, we should turn it a little bit down.
I do think, we can find a solution, if we really use our heart, with an understanding mind.

It is a healthy lifestyle for the retired people to dance in the squares . I think they are very great to lead an active life without worrying their sons or daughters who work far away and can't care enogh for them . We should treat them as our own parents instead of violence or rudeness . Yes , every one has the right to enjoy a quiet life in his\her community  . Maybe they need  to concentrate on their work completely .Maybe they need time to have a good rest after a hard day . Maybe  students need to think about some maths problems quietly .Maybe the loud music makes it hard for parents to get a baby to fall alseep . Maybe there is a patient who needs to  
recover . There are too many people and too many buildings . Yes , I hope the retired people can have their own places to dance happily without disturbing others. The government should take it into account .

It is a good style to exercise. While, everyone has to think of what others' thinking.

You do sleep well. But some people just can not put up with it. Everything has its two sides, what we can do is to find some ways to solve them. I hope the old can enjoy their dance and also take actions to avoid influencing others.
