The movements of Korea’s classical dance tradition reflect the essential rhythms of life in Korea. The exuberant yott’aryongch’um (Taffy Peddler Dance) walks audiences through the bustling marketplaces of Korea, while meditative, deeply symbolic performances such as the hwahyonmu (Lotus Dance) and sungmu (Monk’s Dance) explore the country’s deep Buddhist roots. From the gentle, gliding grace of the opening chaech’onmu (Choson Court Dance) to the thunderous drumming of the closing p’unggo, the dancers and musicians of the Chae Hyang Soon Dance Company display the strength and energy of Korean tradition.
