This research attempted to clarify trends of Korean dances during the 1960s by analyzing dance video data from the National Gugak Center’s Garfias Collection. The Garfias Collection is an archive of Korean performing arts that was donated by American music anthropologist Robert Garfias in 2019. In 1966, Garfias stayed in Korea for several months and recorded Korean traditional performing arts through photographs and videos. In this collection, there are 14 video clips of Korean dances of the 1960s, which can be classified into three sections: court dance, Buddhist dance, and folk dance. Various literature surveys and expert interview were conducted to investigate the background and activity status of the performers at the time, as well as the costumes, dance movements and the composition patterns of each dance. In the case of court dance, they were performed before systematic restoration based on literature had been carried out, and it was found that the progress was faster and contained more creative elements than the current one. In Buddhist dance, it has proceeded almost identically to what is currently being performed, but it can be said that the pace of progression is faster and the individuality of the dancer stands out. Finally, in folk dance, it provided an opportunity to gain a new perspective on the formation of traditional dance since the video showed a very different aspect from the dance that is currently being transmitted.

The Korean-Chinese Janggo dance is a symbolic national art of the Korean-Chinese and a symbol of the Korean-Chinese culture. This study aims to research how Korean traditional culture, Janggo dance, developed and settled into the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance in China. To this end, we examine the changes of the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance by period and the characteristics of its choreography for the succession and development of the Korean-Chinese culture. First, the Korean-Chinese dancers pursued the development of national dance for succession and development of their culture, and also they attempted projects to discover, organize, and recreate the Korean-Chinese dance based on different perspective and ideas from China. Second, the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance has developed, reflecting the changes and development of The Korean-Chinese Janggo dance by period. Third, the artistic feature of the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance emphasizes the beauty of the dancer's body and expresses the harmony of the dancer's gestures as well as expressions with the Janggo dance and music. We hope that this paper would devote itself to the development of the Korean-Chinese Janggo dance and be used as a basis for future research.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the dance practiced in private spaces during the Joseon dynasty by analyzing paintings and literature. This study is the third part of a series of research exploring paintings depicting dances in various performance venues in the Joseon dynasty. While the first two researches were about dances performed in royal palaces and in public places respectively, this article analyzes paintings and literature of dances in private spaces in the following three ways.

First, dances performed in the personal social gatherings were divided into three types according to the subject: dances performed at social gatherings for the elderly, reunions of officials who passed the national civil service examination in the same year, and social gatherings for the middle class. These dances were performed to strengthen the community spirit or to appreciate the performances of professional young male dancers called mudong.

Second, dances performed to celebrate the longevity of parents on their birthdays are analyzed. In such events, the mother was considered the most important character as well as audience, and the concept of “filial piety” was emphasized in the “Son’s Dance.”

Finally, dances conducted in private folk venues are examined. Some of these paintings portray a son who dances as a “performer” to celebrate his parents’ diamond wedding anniversary. Other paintings depict a clown dancing in a three-day parade where a person who passed the national civil service examination visits his examiners, high-ranking senior officials, and his relatives.
