This paper takes the public square dancing in Jilin city as the research object and expounds the representation behavior from the theoretical perspective of the symbolic anthropologist Victor Turner's "liminality and communitas", which is embodied in the temporary social structure separation of square dance participants under the "selfless" dancing state, so as to eliminate their self-marginalization. This paper finally reveals that the participants in square dance can improve their status and reshape their body and mind through square dance activities, so as to maintain the integration of themselves and social structure.
