Why Dance Curriculum in Korea?

In Korea, students who have majored in dance education will automatically be given a license to teach in physical education upon their completion of the teaching requirement. Korea doesn't have the system of licensing a dance teacher certification. Even though the general course works in elementary and middle schools include music and fine arts, dance is not included. In facing this situation, people in the field of dance education have started suggesting the Ministry of Education to incorporate dance education as a part of general course works in Korean elementary and middle schools. As a result, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism started applying the dance instructor dispatch program to the schools that requested for the dance education. This program started in the year 2005 for the first time when only 100 schools requested for it. The number was increased to 150 schools in 2006 and then 328 schools in 2007. Each year, apparently more and more schools want this program. In view of this rising demand, I believe that a more systematic curriculum is necessary for the future and therefore I would like to specialize in teaching dance curriculum and play an important role in the future in effectively developing dance curriculum.

My curriculum that I want to teaching is to be creativity that based on my experience when I grow up. In studio, I learned ballet or another dance as training way such as a strict command style. Also, in my arts middle, high school and college, I trained the dance technique. This way is great way to get professional dancer. However, this teaching way is difficult to made creativity thinking skill. For my future students, I want to provide a knowledge base concerning aesthetics, agency, creativity, lived experience, learning through the body not only technique.
