The purpose of this study is to explore the communal life and aesthetic consciousness inherent in Su-yeongJi-shin Bal-gi and re-evaluate its value as a form of folk culture. The main discussion of this paper focused on folk culture and folk dance as a communal cultural element through the analysis of literature and academic materials related to Su-yeong Ji-shin Bal-gi. In addition, photographs taken at the 49th Suyeong Traditional Folk Arts Festival were used as research data to describe and analyze the dance movements. As a result of the study, the aesthetic consciousness of the East, which prioritizes naturalness, and that of the West, which emphasizes orderliness, are both embedded in the ritual. Additionally, the ritual embraces the dance principle of Jeongjungdong represented in Korean traditional dance, the communal dance seen in Madang, and the subject-object unity between performers and spectators.

The purpose of this study is to examine the aesthetics inherent in Lee Eun-joo’s Sanjo dance, Geumseonmu. The study utilizes literature research and participatory observation methods, including in-depth interviews, oral records, and embodiment. The results of this study are as follows, First, Geumseonmu is a work that combines mind and body, which is a typical characteristic of Sanjo dance. Second, it has inherent feminist tendencies. Third, it is a traditional dance that makes good use of Korean elements. Fourth, it stands out for its artistry through the combination of various art forms. In metaphorical terms, Lee Eun-joo's Sanjo dance, Geumseonmu can be interpreted as a painting that emphasizes lines and empty space, a technique found in traditional Asian paintings. Significantly, her Sanjo dance expresses the factual aspects of external objects and the inner beauty of eternal life through dance.
