Republic of Korea - Taepyeongmu
Description The Keun Taepyeongmu is a version of the Taepyeongmu, rearranged as a mass dance. Taepyeongmu is a court dance depicting the King and Queen dancing to pray for peace and prosperity in the nation. It is thought to have been created in the early 20th century by Han Seong-jun, the father of modern Korean dance, based on the shamanic music and dance of the danggut rituals from Gyeonggi Province. Taepyeongmu is visually impressive, with elaborate and grand costumes influenced by court dances. The movements are full of energy, and set to complex and precise rhythms. The steps feature techniques such as gyeob georeum, jan georeum, raising the knee, and heel stomping and raising, timed to the changing rhythms, which are mesmerizing yet restrained. The highly technical steps are unique to this dance and give it its unmistakable style. Characteristics: ∙ 20th century adaptation of a shamanic dance performed at danggut rituals Performed by Mongolian National Song and Dance Academic Ensemble Directed by Kim, Mi-Sook
