- Chinese square dance workshop: We are a group of Chinese residents who love dancing and often come together to have fun. Dance is a sociable way to express ourselves, get in shape, and feel good. Our dance focuses on the Chinese square dance, an exercise routine performed to music in square, plaza, or parks. It's a step to a healthy lifestyle. We will show the basic steps to the audience and then we can all dance together and have fun.
