摘要
四方舞源于欧洲,兴于美国,既秉承了欧洲宫廷舞中犹如绅士、淑女般优雅高贵的气质,又渗透了美国西部牛仔热情奔放的激情。美国前总统里根于1984年签署法案,将四方舞定为美国国家舞蹈,每年在各州轮流主办国际四方舞大会。
When early colonial(殖民的)settlers came to America,they brought many forms of dance to their new home.Square dancing,one of the oldest forms of American folk dancing,developed from several different Old World group dances,mainly the English country,and the French quadrille(方阵舞).
