Dance majors' dance emotional expressiveness is based on their body-emotion integration, which impacts their level of performance engagement. Through training to improve the expression of dance emotions, dance majors learn to identify and express their feelings. In this study, 507 Chinese majors in contemporary dance were asked to evaluate the relationship between dance emotional expressiveness and performance participation using emotional intelligence. The findings demonstrated a substantial relationship between dance emotional expressiveness and emotional intelligence, as well as a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and performance engagement. Furthermore, it was discovered that the relationship between dancers' emotional expressiveness and performance involvement was mediated by emotional intelligence. This study is important because it sheds light on the relationship between Chinese contemporary dance majors' performance engagement, emotional expressiveness, and emotional intelligence. This information will help develop better teaching strategies and curricula.

This study discusses the early modern dance formation in Busan during the liberation period 1945-1950. The study discusses its historical significance and aesthetic value from a contemporary perspective. For this study, a literature review on previous research and newspaper articles was used as a research method in order to examine modern dancers’ works and their educational activities during the liberation period. Modern dances in Busan that supported a new way of creating stage performances were influenced by western cultures and “New Dance.” During the liberation period, modern dancers in Busan expressed national identity and individuality through dance while promoting dance education as the human experience. Park Yongho and Park Yirang held dance concerts to show their own creative dance pieces, which were different from previous dance performances displayed in Busan. The liberation period was important for dance history in Busan as it was the beginning of establishing modern dance in that area. Also, modern dances during that time were historically significant as they fostered nationalism and suggested a new dance aesthetic. Modern dance in Busan during the liberation period set a foundation for modern dance activities that focused on creativity and education after the Korean War.

This study aims to examine research trends related to the bodies of contemporary dance maors in South Korea and explore main research topics on body. As a research method, a text mining techniques, one of big data methods, was used to analyze the trends. As a result, it was found that the frequency of the term 'influence' was the highest, and N-gram connections related to 'influence,' 'dance,' and 'injury' were among the top findings. Topic modeling revealed themes such as 'dancers' body management,' 'emotional changes according to physical condition,' and 'the correlation between eating behavior and emotions in dance.' These results are expected to provide foundational data and direction for subsequent research.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and reflect on the pro-Japanese activities of Choe Seunghui, also known as Sai Shoki (1911-1969) during the Japanese colonial period. I reviewed literature including the Dictionary of Pro-Japanese Figures and documents from the Investigation Committee on Pro-Japanese Collaborators, as well as newspaper articles. Choe Seunghui's pro-Japanese activities from 1937 to 1944 included: first, donating large sums of money to national defense funds and pro-Japanese organizations; second, performing numerous consolation shows for the Imperial Japanese Army; and third, receiving the National Cultural Award for her pro-Japanese work Muhon. Immediately after liberation, Choe exhibited a process of denial, acknowledgment, atonement, and justification regarding her pro-Japanese actions. The study discusses her own stance on her pro-Japanese activities, the positions of South and North Korea, and the perspectives of the South Korean dance community after the lifting of restrictions on her works, highlighting the gap between 'facts' and 'acknowledgment.' In conclusion, the study emphasizes the importance of remembering both Choe Seunghui's pro-Japanese misconduct and her contributions to dance. As Hannah Arendt insightfully noted, the phenomenon of 'thoughtlessness' leading to immense evil can occur not only in past instances like Nazism or pro-Japanese collaboration but also in contemporary contexts. This study aims to assist the dance community in existing as reflective individuals, aware of these historical lessons.

This reflects the value of university dance expression education guidelines that respond to demand-centered requirements.

This study aims to study characteristics of Yi Maebang’s Honam Sword Dance. Literature research, image analysis, and the researcher’s own experience of the dance were used as research methods in this study. Through the investigation of Yi Maebang and his Honam Sword Dance components, the characteristics of Yi Maebang’s Honam Sword Dance can be classified into three categories. The first characteristic of Yi Maebang’s Honam Sword Dance is related to breathing circulation. This cycle of breathing appears in the harmony of yin and yang through the flow of Daesam and Sosam and in the movements of Jeong, Jung, and Dong. The second characteristic of his Honam Sword Dance is an aesthetic expressed through the dance’s tendency and form. In other words, the aesthetic of his dance is based on femininity and naturalness created by curved and circular movements. The third characteristic is the harmony of time and space, which can be found in the formation of “Gasaemulrigi.”

This study analyzes William Forside’s Synchronous Objects for One Flat Thing, Reproduced from a geometric perspective. This dance is a digital work presented through an online platform, which combines various fields to produce 20 objects. The work uses geometric forms to express dancers’ movements and spatial interactions in various ways. In our study, the interaction and fusion of art and geometry are explored by analyzing the dancers’ movements by means of geometric shapes such as points, lines, and planes. It analyzes how various patterns and structures are formed in space when dancers pass each other or make synchronized movements. Therefore, this study contributes to geometrically analyzing and understanding the dancers’ movements and their uses of stage space by combining dance and geometry.
