Chinese people love social couples dancing. They do it, along with numerous other fitness activities (tai chi, karate, hacky sack (yup!), …), in parks, usually early in the morning. Wilddancer has joined them in Shanghai and Beijing. We deemed ourselves too young to particpate in the “Seniles Disco” in Shanghai (lost in translation), but joined a group who had music that matched what we often danced to. And we had to dance with everyone in the group, essentially none of whom had ever taken lessons in western-style ballroom or latin dances. In Beijing it was on National Day, and our west coast swing made all our new friends watch (and applaud).
