Dancer a:

The original square dance was calculated by steps, such as eight steps, twelve steps, sixteen steps, twenty steps, twenty-four steps, thirty-two steps, sixty-four steps and so on.

Nowadays, square dances are arranged according to music, and they are basically grouped, with four eight beats or six eight beats (except the three-step dance), which are divided into prelude action, intermission action, ending action and intermediate action. Nowadays, dance is becoming more and more perfect, and it is impossible to simply calculate dance step by step.

Dancer b:

I can answer you: this dance is as many steps as there are from the first step to the second lap.

The number of steps is fixed, jumping from the starting point to the end point, such as 16, 20, 24, etc.

Dancer c:

Square dance itself is very casual, not so particular, as long as it can follow the music beat.

As for the steps, they are all made up by people. You can make up as many steps as you want. If the dance is over, it's over. If the song doesn't end, keep dancing. There is no standard, and there is no right or wrong.

In order to step on the right rhythm, you can make up a dance step yourself. The difference of steps is for everyone to study better, just get a general understanding ~ I wish you all more beautiful!
