摘要

「廣場舞」，是中國中老年人的新興活動代名詞之一，除了對其身強體健功能的推崇及近年討論的噪音干擾爭議，廣場舞活動也成為不可忽視的勢力，學術界亦掀起一股廣場舞研究熱潮，無論是關於廣場舞的精神展現、運動健康學視角、公共管理政策上，皆有學者提出不同觀點，不過幾乎都以中國廣場舞為研究田野。實際上台灣苗栗頭份竹南地區也有廣場舞社群，在華隆工業地轉變為尚順廣場後，其中西堤廣場成為頭份竹南地區廣場舞社群的最大開放活動空間，與此同時在其他不同地點也可以發現大大小小的廣場舞社群，連地方政府舉辦活動也常以廣場舞作為活動號召。廣場舞在此雙子城中，成為中老年族群的休閒新熱潮，究竟為何廣場舞能在近幾年內，迅速成為頭份竹南地區的新興休閒？廣場舞究竟對個人有何吸引力在短時間內吸引眾多中老年族群在固定時間參與活動？本文以頭份西堤廣場與廣場舞社群為研究田野及對象。
本研究透過西堤廣場舞團隊的田野駐足，研究發現如下：台灣廣場舞具彈性、活潑、自由之舞蹈特色，與中國廣場舞相近，而非完全是台灣土風舞轉型，第二，開放空間的使用合理性並非屬確定性，而係由空間使用者協商而達成；第三，廣場舞體現著中、老年女性各種情感反應，情感流動的身體即是廣場舞中的體現；第四，廣場舞空間成為部分中、老年女性對抗傳統家庭的抵抗空間；第五，廣場舞成為頭份、竹南中老世代活力、元氣的在地展演，形成「廣場舞陣頭化」現象，因此頭份竹南地區的廣場舞之所以能形成新興活動，是與其活動背後複雜的空間政治、社會網絡、情感流動與內外部功能交織下產生的結果。

「Square dance」 signifies one of the popular activities which the Chinese elderly favor. Square dance not only involves such different issues as promotion of body health and strength as well as noise disturbance but also has become an inevitable tendency that forms a heated debate on square dance in the academic field. Many scholars provided different ideas about square dance such as exercise, health, or public management etc.. In addition to square dance studies in China, in fact, there has been concerns about square dance in Taiwan. For example, there are some square dance teams in Toufen and Zhunan areas, Taiwan, which shows a lot of possible hints of this newly popular activity.
Tasty Open at Shang Shun Plaza has become the biggest place for square dance teams in Toufen and Zhunan areas. In the meanwhile, various square dance teams can be found at different locations, and even when local government hold activities, square dance is always the top priority for place promotion. Thus,「square dance」 has turned into an emerging leisure activity for the elderly in Toufen and Zhunan areas. Why has square dance become a new leisure activity in the past years so rapidly? How does square dance fascinate many elderly people to attend this activity? This study aims to investigate the reasons why elder people dance at Shang Shun Plaza.
This research findings are as follows. First, square dance in Taiwan is flexible and free-styled. The study argues, square dance in Taiwan is closer to Chinese square dance than folk dance. Second, the legitimacy of dancing on open space is not given and fixed but negotiating by different users. Third, square dance embodies different affect reactions about elderly female people. Fourth, in this study, square dance successfully help some dancers resist family pressure. Fifth, square dance has, in this study, developed a lot of similarities as「traditional Ding-Tao(Troupe)」. Therefore, the reason why square dance in Toufen and Zhunan areas can become a new leisure activity is the combination of complicated space politics, social network, affect flow.
