IPCHUM

Ipchum was danced by the professional dancers in the very first dance institutions in Korea. As a “basic dance”, literally translated, Ipchum consists of delicate footsteps, elegant arm movements, and stylish skirt manipulation accompanied by the impromptu musical play.

As a modern stage performance, Ipchum has been favored with its varicolored costuming and prop uses that depict the female entertainers in the early 19th, along with the various concepts of movement and stage composition depending on the choreographer.
