ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze how dance majors perceive, search for, and utilize dance records. To this end, a survey was conducted with 136 adult dance majors, supplemented by in-depth interviews with 4 participants. The results revealed that overall awareness of the term “dance records” was low, whereas the perceived necessity of such records was high. Significant differences were also found in levels of awareness and search frequency by major and occupations; in particular, Korean dance and ballet majors, as well as dance educators, demonstrated relatively higher search activity. Dance majors mainly searched for records through online platforms such as YouTube and social media, while the use of official institutional websites or dance archives remained low. In addition, respondents suggested the digitization and dissemination of various types of records, along with improvements in search functionality and accessibility, as key measures for enhancement. Based on these findings, this study proposes the implementation of educational programs to raise awareness and promote the active use of dance records, the production and digitization of diverse record types, the establishment of an integrated search platform, and the resolution of technological and copyright-related constraints.
