KOREAN DANCE PERFORMANCE (KNUA) RECAP

A very big thank you to all of the KAPS members who attended the special performance of top-notch dancers from KNUA Dance Company from the Korea National University of Arts (KNUA), School of Dance. Attendees were treated to a wonderful display of traditional and modern Korean dance.

We will have photos on our website shortly, which you can view at http://www.kaps.org/gallery. If you have pictures from the event, we’d love to share them with those who missed out – please send them to KAPS Webmaster Jason Han at jason@kaps.org

KAPS would like to extend a huge thank you to Yumi Lee (http://www.kaps.org/membership) for providing tickets to the show!
