Dynamic Korea: Dance and Song - Chae Hyang Soon Dance Company September 28, 2010

With dazzling color and grace, the movements of Korea’s gorgeous classical dance tradition reflect the essential rhythms of life in Korea, handed down from generation to generation.

From the gentle, gliding grace of the opening chaech’ŏnmu (Chosŏn Court Dance) to the thunderous drumming of the closing p’unggo, the elaborately costumed dancers and musicians of the Chae Hyang Soon Dance Company are animated by the strength and energy of the Korean tradition. The exuberant yŏtt’aryŏngch’um (Taffy Peddler Dance) walks audiences through Korea’s bustling marketplaces, while meditative, deeply symbolic performances such as the hwahyŏnmu (Lotus Dance) and sŭngmu (Monk’s Dance) explore the country's deep Buddhist roots.
