With the continuous progress and development of society, square culture, as a social and cultural phenomenon and an important form of square culture, has attracted more and more attention. Square dance is quietly undergoing tremendous changes. Square dance has entered the city from the countryside and has become an indispensable part of urban cultural construction.
