Shanghai residents relive their waltzing days in the Park.

First time travelers to China may be surprised to find that the Chinese dance on the streets all the time. Early in the mornings or evenings, they gather in groups and break into their Foxtrots or Rock n' Rolls. The music is provided by their own portable cassette players hooked up to speakers. Shanghai residents have been ballroom dancing in parks for decades. But this was not always the case.

During the Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976, the government banned things it saw as foreign and bourgeois. Dancing was forbidden and many people got around the ban by dancing alone covertly.

Here a group of elegant ladies and men were all dressed up and twirling away. As the Tennessee Waltz floated through the air, it was indeed poignant to see a lady waltzing with her imaginary partner.
