Chinese Dance Videos
I love this video…
It’s a fabulous production, the music and singing is beautiful, and it’s completely danceable. I’m guessing they changed some of the lyrics though, so I just wish I understood everything that’s going on!
Here’s a different version of the same song. (I wonder if it’s the same people, maybe 40 years ago?)
For context, here’s the “official” version by Stefani Germanotta:

Two Faces of Carolina Telephone: Steps in Kenly and Clayton NC
Two Faces of Carolina Telephone: Steps in Kenly and Clayton NC
March 1977 PhoneTrip by Evan Doorbell.
Though both Kenly and Clayton were similar, North Carolina communities served by the independent, Carolina Telephone Company; both with Step-by-Step equipment; their phone service was very different. The main reason for this is that Kenly was served by the Carolina Telephone operators located in Wilson, while Clayton was served by the Southern Bell operators in Raleigh. In his two-part presentation, Evan demonstrates the stark and subtle differences this configuration created.
