Learn Guangchangwu routines

Start with what a routine actually is, how it differs from the whole dance form, and how to work from documented Guangchangwu sets instead of random clips.

Dance ≠ routine

Dance

The broader form: public-space group dancing under theGuangchangwu umbrella, including related styles such asYangge or Shuffle dance.

Routine

A teachable sequence with a fixed order of counts and phrases — often tied to one track, one competition program, or one standardized set.

Competition routines are fixed sequences — one wrong count is visible to everyone.

Where to start

Begin with Standardized guangchangwu routines — the twelve model routines used as instruction material — then useall documented routines when you are ready to compare what else exists.

Learn one set at a time. Individual routine pages appear only when English-language sources name a routine; unnamed viral videos do not get pages of their own.
