Many Revolutionary Dances Produced

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, November 29 (KCNA) -- More than ten years have passed since leader Kim Jong Il made public the famous work "Theory of Dancing Art" on November 30, Juche 79 (1990). In this period, the creators and artists of Korea have produced one after another successful dances truthfully depicting the Korean people's noble thoughts, sentiment and revolutionary life and folk dances reflecting the ancestors' wisdom and long-standing national customs by acting upon the important guidelines laid down in the work.
    Typical of them are dance suite "The Army and People Single-heartedly Uphold the General" produced by the Korean People's Army Song and Dance Ensemble in 1995 and folk dance suites "Song of the Seasons" produced by the Phibada Opera Troupe in 1992 and "People in the Walled City of Pyongyang" by the State National Art Troupe in 1997.
    This period witnessed the production of "The Invincible Workers' Party of Korea," the mass gymnastic and artistic performance celebrating the 55th founding anniversary of the WPK, as a monumental masterpiece. And the mass gymnastic and artistic performance "Arirang", a world famous masterpiece in the Songun era, was produced in the new century.
    Among the dancing pieces are a dance drama "On the Way of Struggle under the Leadership of the General" depicting the resolution of the Korean army and people to defend the revolutionary traditions of Juche for all ages and successfully inherit and develop them and a folk dance drama "Touch-me-not."
    Creators and artistes created and completed a lot of dancing pieces, including a solo "Victory of the Revolution Is in Sight," a female group dance "Dance with Long Korean Drum," a male quintet dance "We Will Not Yield Even an Inch of Land" and a dance "At Spring," true to the intention of the Party to develop the dancing art with main emphasis on short dancing pieces.
