Square dancing takes a step in the right direction

WUHAN — Adorned in her elegant dance costume, Wang Xiaolan, the founder of a square dance troupe in Central China's Hubei province, relishes her regular practices and gatherings with fellow dancers.

"Dancing brings me a sense of achievement," the 59-year-old retiree says. "It has enriched our lives after retirement."

Over the past five years, Wang's dance group grew from 28 to 38 members, with many younger participants joining in.
