Midday Korean Dance

Midday Korean Dance


With my one of the best friends in Korea...a truly nice guy Muhammad Mudaris, i attended yet another performance at National Museum of Performing Arts which is located at National Theater of Korea in Seoul...on a very hot day but national holiday of 15th August 2013.

As the name indicates the performance was mainly traditionally Dancefull. The overall event was of about 90 mints with one solo performance while 2 in pair performance and 2 group performance.
Stage was very simple giving main area to the performers. As i mentioned it was quite traditional performances like always language barrier made it a bit comfortable for foreigners.
Performances were of the combination of cultural dance and music based on some theme.
Like if there was a performance having music and lyrics about fields and farmers then there were love stories as well. Love stories dances were very phenomenal and dramatic. While the group performances were very dynamic and of fast pace involving the audiences.
As the pic were not allowed during the performances so we had some snaps at the end of the show that is why missed the shuttle bus as well..


I personally like last performance Named Tae..which was the real one of that show, it involved so many performers and simple traditional instruments so making it a huge performance. The music in it was very fast with different types of drums. Ladies were equally good in drumming and dance and were in the front to perform. There were four drums with wheels so during the performances moving those drums making it more dynamic overall.
I enjoyed there with my friend then had a visit of Seoul for shopping.
I think overall it was a good event. Thanks KTO for providing yet another opportunity to have a memorable hangout with friends
