About

Around 2015, Chinese sports authorities announced a push toward unified model square-dancing routines — commonly reported as twelve fitness routines — complete with an instructional video set to the hit song "Little Apple" and specially trained instructors. The announcement drew public backlash, and officials later clarified that dancers would not be restricted to only those routines.

This entity acts as a bridge between the overall Guangchangwu dance and individual routines. Individual routine pages are only created when English-language evidence identifies a specific routine by name; the twelve-item set is documented as a collection rather than twelve separate weak pages.
