Purpose: Dance has increasingly been recognized not only as an artistic practice but also as a cultural sector with institutional, educational, and socio-economic significance. Since the early 2000s, sustained government intervention in South Korea has reshaped the conditions of dance creation, education, circulation, and interna-tional exchange within the broader K-Culture strategy. However, existing scholarship has largely focused on fragmented programs or short-term developments, offering limited insight into long-term governance transfor-mation. This study aims to examine the evolution of Korean dance policy from 2000 to 2024 and to identify the governance mechanisms underpinning the sustainability of the dance ecosystem. Method: This study adopts a Narrative Literature Review (NLR) approach to analyze longitudinal policy change in the Korean dance sector. National cultural policy plans, annual reports, and implementation documents issued by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and key intermediary organizations were systematically re-viewed. The analysis focuses on shifts in policy goals, policy instruments, and governance arrangements, through which a stage-based analytical framework was inductively constructed. Results: The findings reveal a three-stage evolution of Korean dance policy. The first stage (2000–2010) em-phasized institutional construction through legal frameworks and foundational public funding. The second stage (2010–2019) focused on industry integration, characterized by project-based support, regional circulation mech-anisms, and ecosystem-building initiatives. The third stage (2020–2024) involved digital expansion and interna-tionalization, driven by digital transformation agendas and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these developments, persistent challenges remain, including fragmented implementation, uneven regional capacity, and insufficient institutional arrangements for platform-based sustainability. Conclusion: Korean dance policy has evolved from finance-centered support toward a more platform-oriented and collaborative governance configuration. Nevertheless, the structural characteristics of dance as a perfor-mance-based art form continue to necessitate sustained public coordination and institutional support. The stage-based framework proposed in this study contributes to cultural governance research by illustrating how perform-ing arts policy evolves through cumulative institutional reconfiguration. The findings further suggest that future dance policy should prioritize sustainability-oriented governance integrating education, digital infrastructure, and international cultural circulation.
