한국 라인댄스의 변천과정 및 동향

Abstract

This study began with a sense of problem with the lack of research on the transition process and trends from the introduction of Korean line dance, and the meaning of lectures focusing on the works of Western choreographers. As a research method, literature research and expert interviews were conducted. Through the introduction process of line dance in Korea, the activities of organizations organized by period, and the opinions of four experts who are active from the beginning to the present, the transition process and trend of Korean line dance were examined. Compared to the current quantitative development of domestic line dance, exchanges and cooperation between domestic organizations are insufficient, and in recent years, there is a trend to create cooperative relationships between organizations to overcome them. In addition, there was a common opinion that efforts to overcome the limitations of line dance experts in theory and practice are needed. In particular, since the association’s efforts are rarely made in creating line dance works, we see the limitations of domestic line dance that focuses on Western works. In conclusion, line dance values common experiences through dances of the same movement and has important social values for the maintenance and development of the community, such as bonding and consideration. Therefore, the following efforts will be needed. First, there are strengthening the integrated system of practice and theory, second, lowering the threshold at which each other can come and go regardless of the association, and third, the formation of uniform standards among associations for improving the quality of education, and fourth, not forgetting the original party dance (social dance) culture.
