The Korea Society, in association with the Seoul Performing Arts Company, presented the second national tour of Korean Dance: Tradition and Creation. For nearly two decades, the prestigious Seoul Performing Arts Company (SPAC) has created spectacular productions, traveling to over 40 countries around the world. The 16-member Seoul Performing Arts Company returned to the U.S. in fall 2006 to perform an entrancing program of folk dances as well as  contemporary interpretations of ancient court and shamanic dances. Included in the program were the colorful farmer's dance, the vivid Puch'aech'um ("fan dance") and the masked Ch'oyongmu ("dance of the five directions").
