Meme ‘subject three’ dance in Spring Festival Gala – trendy or lazy?

The inclusion of Kemusan, or "subject three" dance (a popular swag dance originated from South China), into the rehearsal highlights of the 2024 Spring Festival Gala in several provinces has triggered dissatisfaction among some Chinese netizens, who call the move "outdated" and "countrified."

A recent social media poll with 45,000 participants showed that 38,000 voted against the inclusion of the "subject three" dance in the Spring Festival Gala. Some expect the galas to stick to creativity, rather than becoming a "meme replicator."

Despite being considered "vulgar" by some, the "subject three" dance has indeed gained international popularity, becoming a global social symbol. Renowned figures like world finalist professional ballroom dancer Kristina Rihanoff, members of the Russian Royal Ballet, and China's renowned dancer Yang Liping's dancers have all showcased the "subject three" dance.
