As part of my experience studying in Korea I have had the opportunity to learn its culture. I have had the opportunity to learn the famous Buchaechum dance (부채춤) (the Korean fan dance. This traditional dance is characterized to use quite big and colorful fans made of paper. The costume for the dance is the Hanbok, the traditional dress that covers all the body, the music is Korean traditional music.
The dance consists of several dancers (women) that move simultaneously moving the fans which they hold one in each hand and form altogether different figures. These figures are, for example, flowers, butterflies, mountains, even the waves of the sea. This dance requires much coordination from the dancers in the movements of the fans so that the figures can be appreciated.
Take a look at this video and I hope you enjoy the dance, it requires a lot of coordination!!
Here is another video:
I love the way the dancers move in this video:

That's all for now ^^
