The Fan Dance(Puchae Chum)
This is one of the most popular Korean folk dances both at home and abroad.
This dance is performed by a troupe of women with folding fans.
The dancers open and close the fans with a lighthearted smile to a flowing
rhythm. The climax is when the dancers form a big fluttering flower.
They wear colorful costumes akin to those once worn by dancers of the royal
court. Note the crowns of peony blossoms which are painted on their fans.
