Variation of team formation

As intangible cultural heritage, Four-tile Dance has significant meaning. The dance step is natural and plain. The team formation is changing all the time. Let’s introduce several terms of team formation, they are Ning Mahua, Pao Simen and Zou Taiji.

Mr. Che Guo-hu is introducing the team formation.

 

Pao Simen

Four people standing in four quarters, which form a square. The dancers start from a corner and dance around the standing person, and then run around the other three corners in the same way. At the end, they arrive at the starting point. That’s Pao Simen.

It’s very simple to play Zou Taiji. The dancers walk in “S”, until the first one and last one connects. That is Zou Taiji.
