The purpose of this study is to vigorously investigate international developments in Korean Dance by domestic private dance troupes. The study is based on the performance records of private international dance troupes from the early 2000s, troupes that were active since 1980. The Chang Mu Dance Company and the Didim Dance Company are among Korea’s leading performers and feature dancers who play a prominent role in the globalization of Korea by presenting performances that captivate audiences around the world. The recent Korean Wave may also trace its origins to the popularity of these dance troupes.
