The \uac80\ubb34<\/strong> is a famous, traditional Korean sword dance. The dance involves a prototype of a small sword with rings attached to the sword. When the sword moves about, the rings make a sound in conjunction with the rhythm of the dance. The \uac80\ubb34<\/strong> gets its name from a boy named \uac80\ubb34<\/strong> who lived in the \uc2e0\ub77c<\/strong> kingdom. He performed the sword dance and assassinated the \ubc31\uc81c<\/strong> king, but was killed by officers.<\/p>\n

\ud48d\uc545<\/strong>\u00a0is a dance that has origins in the farming community. Originally the dances were performed after the harvest season to celebrate all the labor that went into the harvest. The dancers are often male, which is not typical of traditional Korean dances. The dancers also wear a type of hat with a long ribbon attached to the hat. The ribbons twirl with the movements of the head.<\/p>\n

\ubb34\uace0<\/strong> is a general term for a traditional Korean drum dance. The origins of the dance come from an exiled government official who was known to play a drum while he danced. The original drum dance involved four main dancers called \uc6d0\ubb34<\/strong> who\u00a0were responsible for striking the drum, and four other secondary dancers called \ud611\ubb34<\/strong>. The \ud611\ubb34<\/strong> formed an outer circle around the main dancers while holding a flower drum stick.<\/p>\n

\ud0c8\ucda4<\/strong> is a Korean masked dance. The dancer wears a mask that portrays an animal, a person, or a goblin. The mask was crucial to the dancer. The mask protected the dancer’s identity, especially\u00a0when the dancer performed in a play criticizing the nobility. The traditional stage of the masked dance is often nothing but a floor mat. The audience can participate and become a part of the dance itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
