This study examines sixteen qualitative studies on dance/movement therapy(DMT), selected from multiple peer-reviewed Korean academic journals to identify current trends in the field. The study found that only one qualitative research-based study was conducted in 2008, and no qualitative research-based studies were conducted from 2009-2015. However, since 2016, more qualitative research methods, such as case study, phenomenological research, consensual qualitative research, and general qualitative research, have been incorporated into DMT-related articles. The data collected for these studies have been mainly based on interviews, which are then verified by the interviewees and their peers for reliability. Recently, more researchers have undergone IRB review procedures following ethical norms before conducting their studies. Participants of the research have included adults, adolescents, and children who were invited to about 10 to 15 sessions with 50-180 minutes for each session. Overall, through the analysis of the sixteen selected qualitative studies, this paper has categorized the ways in which DMT has impacted participants into seven areas: emotional, personal, physical, social, educational, cognitive, and spiritual.

Moreover, the Korean dance-based movement therapy program, which employs movements and sensibilities that are best suited to Koreans, can further improve the health and well-being of Koreans.

The Little Angels is one of the organizations that has served as a cultural delegation representing Korea since the barren art world of the 1960s and 1970s. One of the most outstanding achievements of the Little Angels, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, is the recognition of the excellence of our dance both domestically and internationally through a variety of dance repertoires.

The characteristics of their dance repertoire include the establishment of our own repertoire as a cultural delegation, the creation of Korean dances based on New Dance, the development of categories encompassing both songs and dances, and the composition of works centered on group dances. Further, it is also characterized by the flexibility of program composition, the use of dance moves that students can perform, the educational effects that produced future leaders in the domain, the focus on the Little Angels repertoire rather than an individual choreographer, the relatively rare copyright issues, as well as the repertoire renewal appropriate to the current era. Through this research, it is possible to confirm the historical, cultural, and artistic significance of the dance repertoire that has been passed down over the past half century.

This paper analyzes the author’s piece entitled “After Beginning and Before the End”, which explores the relationship between the creation process of Chinese characters and dance, drawing upon the Tao-te-ching of Laozi. As per Laozi’s concept of ‘Tao’, all creation changes from a simple to a complex state, with a wide variety of possibilities in the process. We intended to make the rediscovery of all creation suggested in the Tao-te-ching of Laozi into a piece of a choreography by applying the minimum unit of Chinese characters and their shapes as the principle for generating dance movement. This research proposes the method of dance composition from the perspective of the redevelopment of all creation presented in Laozi’s Tao-te-ching.
