In the second volume of the book Samguk Yusa (The History of Three Kingdoms), Cheoyong appears as a son of the Dragon King of the sea in an era of King Heongang of Silla. He got married to a beautiful wife from Silla. One day, as he came home late, he discovered that his wife was sleeping with a god of epidemic. Looking at the scene, Cheoyong chased away the god by singing and dancing. In this folk tale, the meaning of each characters is interpreted as follows: the god of epidemic means disease, his wife means a patient, and Cheoyong himself means a dance therapist. I approached Cheoyong Dance as an act that he defeated the god. In this paper, I would like to develop a new therapeutic Cheoyong Dance for promoting health by combining traditional Cheoyong Dance and Gigong Exercise. This will be the way to approach the public easily as another role of healthy Cheoyong Dance. The combining Cheoyong Dance with Gigong exercise will be the way of promoting healthy life and wellbeing.
