The movements of Korean traditional dance
The unique movements of Korean dance are: walking on tiptoe and turning on tiptoe; Gently lift after squatting; Shake slightly upward from the hips; Shoulder tremor; Clean movements, good at improvisation. The most distinctive movement of Korean dance is that one part of the body is suspended, one foot of the body is balanced, the other empty leg is straight, and the shoulders tremble up and down. The names of Korean court dances show the images of flowers and birds: beauty picking peony, phoenix, spring warbler and crane dance.

Today, sword dance is a weapon dance performed only by women. This kind of dance does not show off fencing, but only performs funny fencing movements. These elegant images, like throwing the ball in the dance, reflect a complex and meticulous interest, which also contains quiet humor. In the ball throwing dance, two teams of women compete to throw wooden balls into the goal hole decorated with flowers. Whoever throws it will get a peony flower. People who can't get in are painted with a black line on one face by a "daubing girl". Throwing, rewards and punishments are all expressed through smooth and rhythmic movements. Before the start of the whole activity, you can see the guidance of holding flags, and these people sang the opening and closing songs. Classical "Spring Warbler Dance" needs skillful skills most, because it is performed at the slowest speed in the smallest space. People are mainly interested in waving long sleeves continuously and forcefully like a rainbow ribbon. Sejong, a great king of the Korean dynasty who ascended the throne in 14 18, likes literature, astronomy and beautiful art as well as music and dance. He divided music and dance into three parts and changed the costumes of court musicians and dancers. His grandson Chengzong ordered someone to write a comprehensive book on Korean music and dance, Style of Music Learning, which describes the dance movements, costumes, props, procedures and musical instruments still used in the reproduction of these ancient works of art ... Korea is fortunate to have these treasures handed down from ancient times, and artists from the National Conservatory of Music can show them again. Early records show that the aristocratic court youth "Hualang" (Silla's youth elite organization) appeared earlier than the court female dancers. At one time, members of young men's organizations danced only for the king and his ministers, while female dancers danced only for the queen and her court. In the court dance "Crane Dance", two lotus flower buds are displayed at the back of the stage, and two dancers dress up as two big cranes. As the dance unfolded, two big cranes pecked the flower buds of the lotus with their long beaks, and then the petals unfolded, and children dance actors appeared. Similar dances have the same children coming out of the lotus and two big cranes as the protagonists of the birds. Peony flowers and lotus flowers are of course symbols from Buddhism.
