Agriculture and imprints of monarchy are the two perspectives that allow you to find the horizon of similarity of the two Asian countries. Korean archaeological sites, painting and calligraphy, charming dresses, delicious dishes, musical instruments, pottery, traditional martial arts and many more today strongly advocate the rich, elegant and organized history, which is not merely a history but also a part of life even in the 21st century. Dances are one of the scores of windows from which you can look into Korean legacy. It is one of the intangible cultural heritages of which each Korean is proud of today. There are dozens of forms Korean dances, both court and folk, which stand as the country's identity.
Women dancers are more common than men.
Both men and women wear traditional dresses for their performances. The dancers originally do not learn the theories step by step. Rather, their movements come spontaneously, along with the feeling they convey on the stage, which is guided by the traditional five-scale music. The whole body gives the total impression unlike the Indian classical in which fingers, eyes or lips speak their languages. The dancers travel world-wide as cultural envoys, carrying the Korean people's message for world peace and harmony.
