  • Korean Drum Dance Ensemble with

    Korean Traditional Dance of Choomnori

    Tuesday, August 4, 2015

    Preserving the rich heritage of Korean Traditional Dance, KTDOC

    provides training in the many traditional dances of the Korean culture.

    Some of these dances derive from shamanistic practices, Buddhism,

    and from long folk traditions which reflect the emotions of people and

    ordinary life. Popular dances often use movement and gestures to tell

    traditional tales of the people about grief, joy, faith, the seasons and

    the beauties of nature, among other topics. Some of the most popular

    include the farmers dance, the monks dance, the fan dance, the

    hourglass drum dance and the five drum dance. Today you will see,

    among others, a performance of the highly distinctive Drum Dance

    in which the dancers simultaneously beat various rhythms/patterns

    in a synchronized fashion, choreographing their graceful and stylized

    movements as they turn, bend, swirl and connect their drumsticks to the

    multiple drumheads. Couple this with the elegant and colorful silk gowns

    and the beautifully decorated drum stands and you can understand the

    special magic and eye appeal of this wonderful traditional artform.
