The Korea Society - Dynamic Korea: Dance and Song | Performing Arts
Performed by Chae Hyang Soon Dance Company
dynamic_the_korea_society1

Bring the rhythm and vitality of Korea's classical dance tradition to your performing arts venue with Chae Hyang Soon Dance Company. The Korea Society is now accepting bookings for the group's fall 2010 U.S. tour.

Handed down from generation to generation, the movements of Korea's classical dance tradition reflect the essential rhythms of life in Korea. The exuberant yŏtt’aryŏngch’um (Taffy Peddler Dance) walks audiences through the bustling marketplaces of Korea, while meditative, deeply symbolic performances such as the hwahyŏnmu (Lotus Dance) and sŭngmu (Monk’s Dance) explore the country's deep Buddhist roots. From the gentle, gliding grace of the opening chaech’ŏnmu (Chosŏn Court Dance) to the thunderous drumming of the closing punggo, the dancers and musicians of the Chae Hyang Soon Dance Company are animated by the strength and energy of the Korean tradition.
