What are the characteristics of Korean dance?

Korean dance is characterized by grace, delicacy, softness with length, quietness in movement and rigidity in softness. Korean dance has a history since the Ming Dynasty. Because the Korean people like the white crane very much, like its white color and light and quiet posture, the Korean people regard the white crane as a symbol of auspiciousness and purity, and take pure white as the main color of national costumes. Similarly, this aesthetic is also reflected in the art of singing and dancing, paying attention to "walking with cranes."

Among the Korean ancestors, whether it is the ancient Korea in the Tan Jun era in the legend of northeast China or the three Koreas on the Korean peninsula, they are all ancient peoples who love and are good at singing and dancing.

According to historical records, ancient Korea "had melodious music, songs and lively dances". Fuyu has the custom of "offering sacrifices to heaven in the twelfth lunar month". At that time, "the meeting will be held for several days, eating, singing and dancing, and it will be called' welcome drum'". At ordinary times, it is also "pedestrians ring day and night, and the sound is endless", while Koguryo has the custom of "gathering men and women at dusk to promote music".

North Korea has a long tradition of music and dance, with profound historical accumulation and cultural connotation. Therefore, whether in the Tang and Song Dynasties or in the future, we can keep our own cultural traditions and make them develop continuously by extensively absorbing foreign forms of music and dance. Moreover, due to the interaction between the "music and dance" of the court and the folk "country music", the national color of folk dance has been improved and enhanced accordingly, and the ancient custom of singing and dancing has prevailed to this day.
