Guidelines for Juche-based Dancing Art
Pyongyang, November 30 (KCNA) -- Twenty years has elapsed since General Secretary Kim Jong Il published a famous work, "Theory of Dancing Art", on November 30, Juche 79 (1990).
The work formulates the distinctive character and basic mission of the dancing art and the orientation of its development newly elucidated by the Juche idea. It also gives principles and ways of applying them to dance creation and performance and expounds all theoretical and practical issues arising in perfecting and fully introducing Korean-style dance notation.
Since the work was published, the originality and validity of Kim Jong Il's idea and theory on the Juche-based dancing art have been fully demonstrated, many famous dance pieces created and the dance notation brought to perfection.
Grand gymnastic and artistic performances "Ever-victorious Workers' Party of Korea" and "Arirang" were created as masterpieces and the folk dance suites "Song of the Seasons" and "People in the Walled City of Pyongyang", dance suite "Army and People United in One Mind around the Leader", dances "I Can Still See Victory in the Revolution!" and "We Will Never Give up Even an Inch of Our Land" and many other dance works of various themes and forms produced on the basis of national customs, grandiose current of the times and the heroic struggle of the Korean people.
The dance notation has become smaller in number of notes and easier to understand the composition and combination of dance movements in a theoretical way and note them.
Thanks to Kim Jong Il's outstanding idea and theory, the dancing art of Korea has developed into a Juche-based, revolutionary one based on national dance style and the people's life.
