Discussion on the Characteristics, Functions and Effects of Multi-space Square Dance Activities
Abstract
This article takes the square dance of Jilin City as the research object, using questionnaire surveys, field interviews, and other methods to investigate multi-space square dance activities, such as outdoor space square dance activities, digital space square dance activities, and stage space square dance activities. In this paper, we summarize the current situation and characteristics of multi-space square dance activities to expound the connections and differences among them and then explore the functions of multi-space square dance activities and their effects on participants. Finally, some references and thinking were proposed for the scholars studying square dance based on the development context of square dance activities.References
