| Department of Dance Performance |
|
| To foster professional dancers who will lead the future of dance, the Department of Dance Performance
provides a specialized and systematic education on dance performance. Courses for a specific dance genre (Ballet,
Contemporary dance, or Korean Traditional Dance) are divided into intermediate and advanced levels, considering
the individual talent and experience of student. The development of a rhythmic sense into music is stressed
to create physical movements of musicality. Physiological, anatomical, and psychological understanding of the
human body is also emphasized because it is a way to understand the dynamic relationship between the body and
arts of dance per se. Students of our department will sometimes join professional dance groups during their
enrollments in order to attain an actual stage experience. |
