Square dancing participants
A retiree told the Los Angeles Times: It’s good for my health to be able to come out and exercise. I used to be quick to lose my temper, but now nothing bothers me. When I dance, I forget all my cares. And I can also hike up mountains with little effort.
A resident surnamed Wang: I think there should be some public education, telling residents how to do things in a proper way to protect other people’s living environment. Everyone has the responsibility to reduce noise pollution.
50-year-old Beijinger Wang Xin: It’s an activity that can help people socialize and increase confidence. Maybe you don’t have many dancing skills or the confidence to dance in front of the public, but you can still enjoy it.
33-year-old Yang Hu: My mother is a fan of square dancing. She dances about one hour with her friends after dinner every day. I see nothing wrong with square dancing. After all, there are very few entertainment activities for middle-aged and elderly people.
Wang Yi: The key is to set up a community organization and management. If these communities can gather these individuals together and organize them to dance in the same location within fixed time durations, such problems will be solved.
Nearby residents
A man surnamed Shi: I just wanted some sleep and I shouted loudly because I was so angry about the annoying noise. I think square dancing is a good activity but the music they play is always too loud to tolerate.
One netizen: I think it’s OK to dance in a park but not in a community. I feel lucky because the elderly in my community have their schedules. They dance for 30 minutes from 20:00 to 20:30. I can handle it. Some complain about people dancing in residential areas, and some complain about salesgirls who dance in front of their shops every morning.
A young father; It’s in my face, in my ears, in fact, right bang in my home. I have an infant daughter, only four months old. I don’t know how to get her to sleep with the noise. I fear that the first words she will speak are the saccharine lyrics that waft in daily through the walls and windows.
The official
A staff member from a residential committee office in Beijing’s Chaoyang district: There are many complaints of the noise of public square dancing. Sometimes we get over 10 complaints from our residents during summer. Because in the summer it’s very hot and people want to open their windows to be cool. The loud music is more difficult to tolerate than in the winter.

My Views on Public Square Dancing
Public square dancing is a popular pastime in China, particularly among older women. But they’re considered a nuisance among some local residents, who complain about being disturbed by the loud music. Therefore, a simmering dispute between enthusiastic dancers and their irritated neighbors made headlines and triggered a heated discussion.
There are quite a number of people approving the participation in the public square dancing. One of the main benefits they advocate lies in the huge positive influence on improving the physical health of the participants. Secondly, public square dancing provides a great opportunity for the participants to socialize with their peers, which cheers them up and brightens their mentality. However, public square dancing is strongly opposed by many residents living near the square dancing venues, mainly because the annoyingly loud noise of the music. Besides, the dancing takes up too much public space, making it impossible for other nearby residents to practice other forms of exercise.
Weighing up these different views, I am inclined to agree with the positive party. To begin with, it is my firm belief that each and every citizen has the right to make use of the public facilities to be engaged in physical exercise, especially for those middle-aged and elderly women who are lacking in other forms of activities. What’s more, it is out of question that public square dancing exerts positive influence on the participants’ physical as well as mental health. Unlike youngsters, the middle-aged and elderly women don’t have many means to entertain themselves, and taking part in the square dancing serves as an occasion for them to make friends and communicate with others. Last but not least, as to the complaints over the noise, legislators should try out pilot legislation to make regulations which serve the interests of both sides. And only in this way can frictions between square dancing groups and those opposed to it be reduced.
To conclude, Chinese senior citizens’ willingness to exercise is good news for both the society and their children. Encouraging public square dancing by providing more convenient venues and facilities is not only conducive to helping senior citizens lead a healthy life, but also has a harmonious effect on society.
