Because you look down on people who dance square dance, because you don’t understand square dancing, and because of the negative impact of square dancing itself. These combined factors affect your judgment of square dancing.
In fact, there is no one who is superior or inferior in this society. Everyone is just living life. It is better to look at it more broadly and face everything that is incompatible with you with a more tolerant and open attitude.
Drinking coffee is not more advanced than eating garlic. In the same way, is hip-hop dancing more advanced than square dancing?
Let’s first talk about the parts that you may not be able to accept. Such as disturbing people. It is true that some square dance teams are too close to living areas and the music is played very loudly, which will affect the residents' rest. Regarding venue issues, there have indeed been cases where square dancing aunts and uncles have occupied public facilities such as basketball courts and stadiums to perform square dances and rely on old people to show off their old skills. In some places, they even resorted to violence. The music is not elegant music, most of it is relatively straightforward and non-mainstream with simple tones.
These things determine that square dancing is not very lovable, especially for young people.
But, everyone has an elderly person in their family, and everyone will grow old. Think about it from another perspective. Square dancing provides an opportunity for communication and entertainment for middle-aged and elderly people who lack entertainment life. Anyway, my elders like to dance square dance and communicate with each other, which makes me very happy.
There are really not many entertainment projects left for middle-aged and elderly people in this society. Young people have coffee shops, bars, Internet cafes, video games, and all kinds of weird leisure places, but they don’t have them. It feels a bit cruel to deprive them of this right.
And we have to admit that the aunts and uncles who have the energy and time to dance square dance are really healthy people who have no worries about food and clothing. They are a group of people worthy of envy.
Anyway, the aunt at the square in my neighborhood gets along well with the basketball guy.
