About
Sunset Park in Brooklyn, New York, is home to one of New York City's Chinese communities. Wikipedia's account of square dancing in China notes that a group dancing in Sunset Park drew attention in August 2014 when its leader was arrested under a city noise ordinance; the charge was later dropped.
The episode is frequently cited in English coverage of overseas guangchangwu and noise conflicts over public space.
