한국 전통무용의 대중화 방안

Abstract

This study tried to seek new ways to popularize Korean traditional dance through comprehending the features of Korean traditional dance on the premise that the most Korean thing can be the most global thing in an era of internationalization and globalization. The study offered some suggestions to make people acknowledge the value of Korean traditional dance and popularize and develop it. First, in order to secure potential audience for dance, people should be given opportunities to learn to appreciate and enjoy dance from when they are young. Second, through the strategic management of Korean dance, Korean dance should be developed as cultural content which is both popular and commercially valuable. Third, if dancers' self-reflection and self-improvement efforts that start with self-realization are made along with the public, it will contribute to popularizing Korean dance. Fourth, through vigorous international exchanges, foreigners should be offered opportunities to systematically understand Korean culture and various programs should be developed. Lastly, the value of Korean traditional dance should be preserved and then passed on to the next generation. If a variety of measures are taken to popularize Korean traditional dance, it will become the basis for the worldwide recognition of Korean traditional dance.
