Quite a few middle-age Chinese women who have taken to guangchangwu, a type of dancing out in public, so much so that up in Changchun, in Northeast China's Jilin province, these "da ma" have been going for guangchangwu in spite of the extremely cold weather Outside.

Some say that it's a good way to keep fit and maintain their physical fitness in winter, and that there are few other leisure activities they can indulge in.
