Many parents and teachers are concerned about children's lack of activities, but not all<br />know what can be done about it. One school principal, however, came up with a creative<br />solution. Zhang Pengfei, head of a school in northern China, decided to change the daily<br />exercise program and get his students moving by teaching them a modern dance routine. The<br />headmaster and 700 pupils of the school now performed the 30-minute routine every day at<br />break time. When a video of the dance was shown on social media, it became a big hit.<br />Since 1951, primary, middle and high schools in China have required pupils to undertake<br />a workout every day. It involves instructions shouted out over speakers. But Zhang has decided<br />to break with tradition, with pupils and staff members performing the dance routine instead.<br />He first discovered the routine at a public square and decided to learn it himself. He never<br />imagined the video would attract so much interest across the world. On one site it received more<br />than 250 million views. Weight problems among children are on the rise in China. It's estimated<br />that 28% of Chinese children will be overweight by 2030. Zhang's introduction of a daily dance<br />routine may be a step in the right direction.
