Buchaechum is a traditional form of Korean dance, usually performed by groups of female dancers. Many koreans use this dance during many celebrations. They use fans painted with pink peony blossoms and display a show of dance. In the dance being performed, the dancers represent images using the fans eg. flowers, butterflies and waves. They wear hanbok, the Korean traditional dress in bright colours. It appears to have evolved under influence of both shamanic dance and traditional Joseon Dynasty court performance.[1]
