Korean Dances• The dances of traditional Korea had their origins in various seasonal

religious festivals of antiquity. Dances of traditional Korea consisted of court dances, religious dances and a variety of folk dances

• While the highly stylized court dances displayed important dimensions of discipline, grandeur, and elegance, folk dances showed spontaneity, humor, freedom, and satire.

• There are many differences between Korean and Western dances and the ways in which the dancers perform. While Western dancers dance on their heels as well as their toes, Korean dancers use the heels more but with very little leg movement. Another difference is that Korean Dancers often sing while they dance

• Korean traditional dance originated in ancient shamanistic rituals thousands of years ago. By the time of the later Korean kingdoms, Goryeo and Joseon, in the 2nd millennium CE, Korean traditional dance benefited from regular support of the royal court, numerous academies, and even an official ministry of the government.

• A number of different dances gained permanent high status, including the Hermit dance, the Ghost dance, Buchae Chum (the fan dance), Seung Mu (the Monk dance), the Oudong (Entertainer) dance and others, despite the fact that many had humble origins. For example, the Fan dance is believed to have originated with shamans performing nature rites with leaves but evolved into one of the most highly refined Korean dances.
