Great changes have taken place in the function and performance area of square dance. Since the founding of New China, the Party and the government have attached great importance to the construction and development of mass culture. Especially since the 1990s, the government has established many cultural squares in cities above the county level. 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.

Several square art festivals have been held in succession, and ethnic dance, ballet and modern dance have appeared in the dance programs. These dances are very suitable for square performances. Therefore, square dance is a very important art form in China and even in the world. Square dance is a good exercise for fitness and entertainment.

Contemporary square dance integrates the consciousness, behavior and form of modern dance, thus forming a style with modern square dance. 2 1 Century Square Dance has been affirmed by more and more people of different ages, and everyone has begun to pay attention to their health. The interaction between young people and old people also adds a lot of fun to square dance.
