The Society’s repertoire spans the full range of Korean ancestral dances: from group performances such as the graceful and colourful Fan Dance, to the solo Buddhist Nun’s Dance (performed to the beat of a ritual drum, the nun’s dance begins slowly, accelerates, and reaches a climax, representing the inner evolution from mental conflict to the attainment of Nirvana). Other dances of the Society’s repertoire include the Farmers’ Dance, the Sword Dance, the ritualistic dances of Korea’s native shaman religion, as well as original creations based on traditional forms. | The Society’s repertoire spans the full range of Korean ancestral dances: from group performances such as the graceful and colourful Fan Dance, to the solo Buddhist Nun’s Dance (performed to the beat of a ritual drum, the nun’s dance begins slowly, accelerates, and reaches a climax, representing the inner evolution from mental conflict to the attainment of Nirvana).
