Buchaechum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Short description Template:Infobox Korean name/auto Buchaechum (KoreanScript error: No such module "Lang".; lit. 'fan dance') is a Korean fan dance originating from various traditional and religious Korean dances. It is usually performed by groups of female dancers.

History

Buchaechum was created in 1954 by dancer Kim Baek-bong, who drew influences from both Korean shamanic ritual dances and traditional Joseon court and folk dances.[1]

Performances

This dance is performed at many celebrations and events in Korea, and has become popular worldwide. Dancers use large fans painted with pink peony blossoms to create various formations that represent images such as birds, flowers, butterflies, dragons and waves. The dancers wear brightly coloured hanbok, the Korean traditional dress.[2] Buchaechum is usually performed with minyo (folk song) or sanjo (instrumental solo) accompaniment, though court and ritual music is often used as well.
