Dancing in the streets

It surprises us Westerners that people meet every night to dance in the Mall. They come from all ages, some with partners, some hoping there are others there without a partner to dance with. If not they will dance with a 'virtual' partner. Which believe me is quite entertaining to watch.

Amazingly, Ball Room Dancing is very popular in China. You will see 50 - 60 dancers each night in full swing with accompanying ball room dancing music. If it is a special occasion you will then see the band playing their little hearts out whilst the dancers are doing their thing. I am told it is quite common around the whole of China. I'm guessing it's a form of exercise for them.
