This study focuses on the sociocultural and artistical interrelations between the "Korean Dance" and two of the most popular non-textual forms of mass media - commercial sound recordings (gramophone records) and films (feature films, newsreels, documentaries) - between the 1930s and 1960s. First, this study focuses on how gramophone records were employed through the Korean dance recitals during this period, as well as on what type of music was used in these recitals. Second, this paper examines the films documenting "Korean Dance" shot and produced during the time period in question, and discusses how these films were produced and how it has impacted establishing the "Korean Dance" through its mass distribution. By doing so, this paper attempts to provide a preliminary suggestion on how the "Korean Dance" has made its transitions over time, as well as an opportunity to historically understand the actual manifestation of "Korean dance" during its earlier days of a modern form of performing arts. It can be strongly argued that a strong sense of a historical parallel is revealed between the historic development of the Korean Dance in the early 20th century Korea and the development of the notion of Korean national culture, as both came into their modern manifestation through a series of constant interactions between Korean premodern cultures and the modern foreign cultures.

This study analyzed whether there are differences in the evaluation of the attributes of dance performance audiences, satisfaction, and intention to revisit according to the lifestyle type. The main research results of the empirical analysis are as follows. First, it was found that the importance of the performance attribute differs according to the lifestyle of the dance performance audience. It was found that social relational and conservative culture types value performance hall facilities and accessibility, and open-minded groups regard performance hall facilities and performance groups' brands as important. Second, open-minded audiences were found to have the highest satisfaction and willingness to see the performance, and social relation-type audiences were the lowest. Third, it was found that the stage facilities of the concert hall and the brand factor of the performing organization had a positive effect on the satisfaction of dance performances. These results suggest that advertising and promotion strategies for performances should be different according to the lifestyle of the dance performance audience.

This research attempted to clarify trends of Korean dances during the 1960s by analyzing dance video data from the National Gugak Center’s Garfias Collection. The Garfias Collection is an archive of Korean performing arts that was donated by American music anthropologist Robert Garfias in 2019. In 1966, Garfias stayed in Korea for several months and recorded Korean traditional performing arts through photographs and videos. In this collection, there are 14 video clips of Korean dances of the 1960s, which can be classified into three sections: court dance, Buddhist dance, and folk dance. Various literature surveys and expert interview were conducted to investigate the background and activity status of the performers at the time, as well as the costumes, dance movements and the composition patterns of each dance. In the case of court dance, they were performed before systematic restoration based on literature had been carried out, and it was found that the progress was faster and contained more creative elements than the current one. In Buddhist dance, it has proceeded almost identically to what is currently being performed, but it can be said that the pace of progression is faster and the individuality of the dancer stands out. Finally, in folk dance, it provided an opportunity to gain a new perspective on the formation of traditional dance since the video showed a very different aspect from the dance that is currently being transmitted.

The Korean-Chinese Janggo dance is a symbolic national art of the Korean-Chinese and a symbol of the Korean-Chinese culture. This study aims to research how Korean traditional culture, Janggo dance, developed and settled into the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance in China. To this end, we examine the changes of the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance by period and the characteristics of its choreography for the succession and development of the Korean-Chinese culture. First, the Korean-Chinese dancers pursued the development of national dance for succession and development of their culture, and also they attempted projects to discover, organize, and recreate the Korean-Chinese dance based on different perspective and ideas from China. Second, the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance has developed, reflecting the changes and development of The Korean-Chinese Janggo dance by period. Third, the artistic feature of the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance emphasizes the beauty of the dancer's body and expresses the harmony of the dancer's gestures as well as expressions with the Janggo dance and music. We hope that this paper would devote itself to the development of the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance and be used as a basis for future research.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the current state of studies related to perfectionism in the field of domestic dance and to discuss the direction of future research. The research was conducted by searching the academic search sites such as RISS and KISS, and a total of 69 studies on perfectionism were analyzed in terms of the publishing institution, publication year, research subjects, research methods, concept of perfectionism, variables related to research subject. Content analysis and frequency analysis were used as analysis methods, and the following results were obtained. First, theses and dissertations were conducted in 16 universities in total, and the journals were published in 17 journals. Second, the researches of perfectionism have been steadily studied since the 2000s. Third, Most of the studies conducted on the students of higher education courses majoring in dance. Fourth, Most of the studies were quantitative researches, so it seems necessary to carry out various research methods and research designs. Fifth, Most of the studies used the multidimensional concept of perfectionism and suggested the necessity of research on the development of scales for the domestic dance majors. Sixth, as a result of analyzing the trend of research based on the variables related to the theme, the most of independent variables were personality variables, the most of mediator variables were coping and moderating behavior variables, and the most of dependent variables were positive emotional variables. According to the results, research tasks were suggested an academic effort to try various research topics and subjects, research methods, and research designs by expanding the biased research area. It also implies that research should be activated through a creative approach and an in-depth understanding of the propensity of perfectionism.

This study aims to examine the educational development of Choi Seunghee’s training system, particularly with a focus on the development patterns of Korean-Chinese dance education textbooks and characteristics of Korean-Chinese dance education textbooks at Yanbian University in China, which has inherited and developed Korean-Chinese dance based on Choi Seunghees training system.

The characteristics of Yanbian University’s Korean-Chinese dance education textbooks examined in this study are as follows. First, it is based on the method of organizing educational textbooks, which was identified in Choi Seunghee’s training system. Second, the contents that were not covered by Choi Seunghee’s training system have been comprehensively adopted into the textbooks, which thus came to be loaded with abundant educational content. Third, a training system is currently established focusing on the basics of women’s dance movements.

Yanbian University’s Korean-Chinese dance education was able to create educational textbooks that could support the current logical training system due to the Korean-Chinese dance educators’ devotion to research on Korean-Chinese dance education, which was based on the principle of succession and development.

This study was carried out with 18 participants from various facilities for the disabled in the metropolitan area, who agreed to participate in the program. After dividing them into an experimental group and a control group, the program was applied to eight people who could participate in the experimental group. Before and after the program, a survey was conducted consisting of a self-esteem scale, a self-expression scale, and a perceived competence scale. On the basis of the collected data, the average and standard deviation of the pre- and post-test of the experimental group and the control group were investigated using the SPSS 25.0 program. In addition, differences between groups and differences before and after the test were verified through independent sample t-tests and corresponding sample t-tests, respectively. As a result, the dance/movement therapy group counseling program turned out to be effective in improving self-esteem, self-expression, and perceived competence of the non-disabled siblings of disabled children.

This study shows that the dance/movement therapy group counseling programs with active physical activities and interactions with others help them experience not only verbal-language but also non-verbal expressions and realize their maximum capacity of physical activity. In conclusion, it is summarized that they were able to improve their self-esteem through those bodily experiences.

This study examines the court and private versions of Yukhwadae (六花隊, Formation of six flowers) of the Joseon Dynasty in order to identify the pattern of coexistent and exchange of different cultures such as the royal court and the private sector. The development and changes of Yukhwadae illustrate a way of cultural transformation of dance.

To clarify the cultural transformation of Yukhwadae, this study analyzes the court's documentary records centering on Akhak Gyebum (Canon of Traditional Music) and the civilian literature records centering on the records of Gyobang Gayo (Song of Gyobang).

In Yukhwadae, which was transferred to the public from the courts revealed through literature, all ritual articles of Dangakjeongjae, such as jukganja (pole bearer), uimul (instrument), and changsa (song or chant), were eliminated, and the overall format was simplified. In addition, the content of dance was selectively accepted and reinterpreted, and costumes and music were transformed to be suitable for the private sector. Therefore, through this study, it was found that the strict form of the royal court Yukhwadae was exchanged with the private sector and transformed into a popular and diverse form suitable for civilian performances.

As such, it was found through the results of this study that different cultures were exchanged between the royal court and the private sector during the Joseon Dynasty. I suggest to consider dance from a perspective of cultural exchange, researching various dance cultural exchanges, and contributing to the development of dance.

This study aims to address the issues of dance and national borders focusing on the impact of political and ideological border movements on art and culture. First, I examine the concepts of deterritorialization and reterritorialization and discuss their implications on art and culture. Next, I review the case of German Reunification, to draw parallels with its experience with division and reunification to Korean dance history. Here, I explore the historiography of East German art that faded due to the predominance of the West after reunification. I suggest that it is important to ask questions about the foundation on which I stand in order not to otherize myself and others. A balanced perspective shall be sought to embrace the complexity of personal history that an official narrative may miss. I finally propose to have a broad view that goes beyond not only the borders of division but also the borders of unification.

The purpose of this research is to examine the historical development of the Korean-Chinese (ethnic Koreans in China) dance in China, and to examine the developmental aspects of the Korean-Chinese dance in Yanbian after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. This research first defines the concept of the Korean-Chinese (ethnic Koreans in China) and Korean-Chinese dance. The Yanbian Korean-Chinese dance’s developmental aspects are divided in three stages: the Discovery and Creation of Korean-Chinese dance, the Development of Korean-Chinese dance, and the prevalence of Korean-Chinese dance. The characteristics that appear in the Yanbian Korean-Chinese dance’s development process is as follows.
 First, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Korean-Chinese dance was closely related to the dance development of the civilian local community.
 Second, in order to transmit and spread the Korean-Chinese dance in Yanbian, an established education and training system for Korean-Chinese dancers was required.
 Third, the dancing culture that was publically spread and transmitted, had moved on to performance stages by performers and was once again spread to earn its popularity.
