Dancers get in step to build a community

A popular dance trend that's swept across China has helped relocated rural residents integrate in an unfamiliar environment, as Zhu Lixin reports from Hefei, Anhui province.

For many middle-aged Chinese women, the square dance, a type of line dancing performed in public squares, is a popular form of exercise, but for people who have relocated from the countryside to the city, it's also an important social activity that promotes community spirit.

As founder and head of a 300-member square dance troupe, Kong Zhengnian, a resident of the Baohe district of Hefei, the capital of East China's Anhui province, is a popular figure among the community, which was relocated a couple of hundred meters to Yicheng township in Hefei in 2010.
