Buchaechum is a traditional form of Korean dance, usually performed by groups of female dancers. They use fans and display a show of dance. In the dance being performed, the dancers represent images using the fans eg. flowers, butterflies and waves. It appears to have evolved under influence of both shamanic dance and traditional Joseon Dynasty court performance.
