Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Theater Studies, Dance, , language: English, abstract: Have you ever asked yourself, which relations there are between Korean New Traditional Dance and Contemporary Dance? Traveling all around the world, people are watching me with big eyes as soon as I speak about my dance career. Many of them, even artists, ask me, which are the relations between Contemporary Dance and Korean New Traditional Dance. There is always a question mark on the face of people, when I try to explain that the Korean Dance, for example Korean Ballet or Korean Modern Dance, are related to Contemporary Dance. It is difficult for them to understand the subject at first. For many people, regard to the content of the Contemporary Dance is either an abstract subject or only an American art of Dance. With this small contribution I want to show the importance of Korean Dance generally and its relations to worldwide Dance. This book should even show the similarities between Korean New Traditional Dance and Contemporary Dance today. It is supposed to give answers to all my friends and colleges, who ask themselves: what are the differences and similarities of these dances? [The author is no native speaker.]
