"Footloose"

Chinese officials have grown tired of the millions of elderly women who gather to square dance in public areas across the country each day. Some urban residents complain they are noisy and a public nuisance. So the national government has introduced a list of 12 approved dances and says it will be coming out with further regulations on times and places the dances can be held as well as noise levels.
