Gao Yao Chang Drum Dance is a kind of square dance. There is no limit to the number of participants, and more than two people can perform in pairs. The multi-person dance formation can be two rows horizontally, two rows vertically, or a circle. The two dances have opposite left sides, opposite directions and the same movements. In multi-person dance, one person is half a beat ahead and the others are half a beat behind. In the "karaoke" festival, dozens or even hundreds of people often dance together, and the scene is spectacular. Long drum dance generally does not show specific content, but more shows joy.
