용춤
용춤, or "Dragon Dance," is a traditional performance in Korean culture that symbolizes good fortune and prosperity. Dancers manipulate a long, flexible dragon figure, often made of fabric and bamboo, to mimic the movements of a dragon. This dance is commonly performed during festivals and celebrations, particularly during the Lunar New Year.
The dragon is an important symbol in East Asian cultures, representing strength, power, and auspiciousness. In the dance, the performers work together to create fluid, dynamic movements, often accompanied by traditional music, such as drums and gongs, enhancing the festive atmosphere of the event.
