We’re very excited to co-present the first ever Cheoyongmu dance performance in Canada!

Officially registered as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, Cheoyongmu is the oldest surviving Korean court dance, based on the legend of Cheoyong who was said to have driven away an epidemic spirit through song and dance. Performed by five dancers each representing one of the four cardinal directions and the centre, this dance is stately, vigorous, and punctuated with lyrical songs. Join us on May 9th  at the Centennial Theatre for the first ever official performance of Cheoyongmu in Canada and witness this incredible display of Korean heritage.

This event is co-presented by Coquitlam Heritage, the Vancouver Asian Heritage Month Society, and KTV Media Production Inc. KTV produces Canada’s national Korean TV Show (OMNI TV), Radio Show (FM96.1), and their Korean newspaper celebrated their 20th anniversary last year.

Free. Registration Required.

SOLD OUT. Thank You!
