Restrictive Factors And Breakthrough Paths Of Rural Square Dance Under The Perspective Of Leisure Constraint Theory

Square dance is often known to the public as a vehicle for urban evening leisure culture.With the support of the “Health China 2030”programme and the “Rural Revitalization” strategy,square dance has become an important form of leisure sport for all rural people for its collectivity,popularity and accessibility.This paper adopts the model of leisure restriction theory by foreign leisure sport research scholars Crawford and Godbey and Chinese scholar Yajun Qiu as a framework,and chooses the logic of qualitative research.Using the interview method,observation method,documentary method and mathematical statistics method,we investigate the overall demographic characteristics and square dance participation status of 24 square dancers in O Town in Hunan Province,a field where square dance has been booming since the end of2019.The data analysis method is category analysis.Combined with leisure restriction theory,we convert the interview data into 16 first-level coding indicators,13 second-level coding indicators and 4 third-level coding indicators.Furthermore,we examines the specific content of rural square dance development constrains in four aspects include selfconstraints,structural constraints,interpersonal constraints and experiential constraints.When it comes to the breakthrough path of rural square dance development constrains,we consider that the following five aspects are effective:(1)giving full play to the comparative advantages of rural areas over urban areas;(2)breaking self-constraints through social sport guidance;(3)breaking interpersonal by transforming it into interpersonal advantages;(4)breaking structural constraints by planning leisure facilities reasonably;(5)breaking experiential constraints by strengthening collective infection.This research is devoted to support women in the new era to feel the inner freedom in their own bodies and their own life when they are "dancing for life",and totally encourage women to master their own leisure space,strengthen their self-identity,and finish the self-perception transformation from “other” to "we" in the process of interpersonal interaction.
