BEIJING: A troupe of “square dancing aunties” in southwest China has ignited widespread outrage across the nation after they chose to dance at a martyrs’ cemetery.
These groups, referred to as “damas” in China, typically consist of middle-aged and elderly women, though not exclusively, and their vibrant dance sessions have become a common sight throughout the country.
