Comprehensive characteristics

Korean dance is graceful and elegant, and its dance is gentle and pleasant, such as cranes spreading their wings and willow branches brushing water; Or vigorous and powerful, or lively and natural and unrestrained, reflecting the bright and enthusiastic, delicate and euphemistic, subtle and deep national character.

Because Koreans have been seriously influenced by the Confucian doctrine of the mean, the subconscious expression of "ceremony" shows that Korean dance has the characteristics of elegance and implication. "Symmetry" relationship is an important embodiment of Korean dance. First of all, from the movement point of view, Korean dance movements are mostly circular.

The arm is round, the body is round, and the route is round, so both static modeling and dynamic motion trajectory reflect this perfect symmetrical way. For example, the typical action in Korean dance is "round hand". That is, the forearm drives the wrist to the fingertip in a circular motion.

Another example is "turning over the handle": when two hands alternate handles, the action routes of the two hands are symmetrical, one hand is lifted and then falls, and the other hand is pulled up, and the raised palm is turned up to the palm, and the pulled palm is turned down to the palm, and finally it has become a state of balance between yin and yang when it falls to the horizontal hand position.

Secondly, from the perspective of dance form, Korean dance is embodied in the form of circle, lemon, inclusion, curve and circle, with the main action part in the upper limbs, while the basic form of the upper limbs is mainly reflected in the position of arms and hands. However, both the folding of arms and the positions of various hands have the above-mentioned "symmetrical" relationship. A neat, quiet, steady and harmonious aesthetic feeling is reflected in the dance.

Thirdly, from the form of performance, especially the use of breath, Korean dance also presents a "symmetrical" relationship. The use of breath is a very important link in Korean dance performance, which is the fusion of rhythm and charm, inner beauty and dance beauty, and is realized through unique rhythm situation, breathing method and breath use.

Each rhythm has its own specific drumming and beating methods, as well as dance movements corresponding to its characteristics, and the dancer's breathing must be consistent with the rhythm.
