'Subject Three' dance belongs to the world

A special popular dance has attracted attention widely. There are two stories about the origin of "Subject Three" or kemusan (also known as "Guangxi Subject Three"). One story traces the dance's roots to a wedding in Wuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, where guests spontaneously broke into a dance as part of the celebrations. The other story suggests Guangxi local people undergo three tests in their life: singing folk songs ("Subject One"), slurping rice noodles ("Subject Two"), and dancing ("Subject Three").

In the popular dance style, performers show off some swag dance moves, such as swinging their knees sideways as they execute a series of fast hand actions, including fast wrist-twisting moves. The dance is accompanied by music that sounds like a mix of Western disco beats and traditional Chinese folk songs.

"Subject Three" continues to captivate audiences around the world. From self-amusement to international dance competitions, people of different nationalities, races, cultures and social backgrounds are shaking their legs to "Subject Three". This dark horse showcases China's cultural diversity and transcends language and cultural boundaries.
