Don't knock it - square dancing is a way to keep fit

THE ORGANIZING committee for the 13th National Games, which will be held in Tianjin from August 27 to September 8, has for the first time included square dancing among the events. Legal Daily comments:

This is the first time the popular entertainment and keep-fit activity has been recognized as a competitive sport.

Many young people regard square dancing as a noisy pastime enjoyed only by senior citizens, and complain that the activity is a nuisance as the elderly dancers hog the public spaces in cities.
