Daejeon Metropolitan Dance Theater
The Daejeon Metropolitan Dance Theater, founded in 1985, began its international journey with participation in the Asian Folk Festival in Malaysia in 1990. Since then, it has been invited as Korea's representative to various international festivals in France (Dijon Festival), the United States, Mexico, China, Japan, Australia, Serbia, Italy, and more, showcasing the excellence and artistry of Korean culture.
In 2011, commemorating the 20th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and China, the company captivated Chinese audiences with Korea's charming dance movements in Xi'an and Hangzhou, elevating the international branding of Korean dance. In 2016, the company was selected as Korea's representative dance troupe for the 50th anniversary celebration of diplomatic relations with Spain, hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, successfully fulfilling its role as a cultural ambassador while touring throughout Spain.
Through a celebratory performance at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, the company demonstrated the essence of Korean traditional dance to a global audience, showcasing the strength of regional dance companies. In 2023, selected as a cultural and artistic performance group by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the company presented the beauty of Korea at the 70th anniversary celebration of the Korea-US alliance, deeply moving local expatriates and audiences. Additionally, in 2024, they impressed local audiences through a cultural exchange performance in Sapporo, Japan, promoting Korean traditional dance.
Based on its 41 years of accumulated power, the Daejeon City Dance Company is working with Daejeon citizens to further solidify its aspect as a science, culture, administration, and transportation-oriented city. It is driving the development of local dance culture with more than 50 performances a year, expanding the horizon of Korean dance, and showing culture and art to Daejeon citizens and foreigners visiting our region without regret.
The Daejeon City Dance Company, along with artistic director Kim Soo-hyun, will increase the consensus of citizens and provide the impression and passion of dance based on the artistic skills and creative power that has been accumulated so far.
