This study examines the knowledge structure of research on the Korean Dance Performance Market through keyword co-occurrence network analysis. From the RISS and KCI databases, 422 journal articles and theses (2010–2025) were collected, and a network of 63 author-keyword nodes and 224 edges was constructed. Degree, betweenness, and closeness centralities were computed, and sub-themes were derived via Louvain modularity optimization (Q=0.361). Excluding field-general terms, the substantive core nodes converged on viewing satisfaction, revisit intention, marketing mix, and viewing motivation, indicating a concentration on demand-side psychology. Four of the five clusters concerned viewing, consumption, satisfaction, and genre reception, whereas the market’s supply and industrial structures rarely formed independent themes. The findings indicate that scholarship on the Dance Performance Market has developed primarily around demand-side themes, leaving supply-side and industrial dimensions as an underexplored gap for future research.

This study examines the sacrificed body in Vaslav Nijinsky’s and Pina Bausch’s The Rite of Spring, focusing on its negative forms, processual changes, and aesthetic significance. The “sacrificed body” is defined as a processual body whose relational position and bodily state change within a ritual structure. The works are analyzed through selection and separation, coercion, distortion, exhaustion, and collapse. The analysis shows that negative bodily forms acquire meaning within sacrificial relations and develop through repetition, exhaustion, and collapse. Nijinsky foregrounds the formal negation of the normative ballet body, whereas Bausch exposes bodily vulnerability and material exhaustion. Thus, the sacrificed body gains aesthetic significance as bodily negativity persists through sacrifice, revealing violence, vulnerability, and dissolution through aesthetic experience.

This study aims to propose a sustainable business model for street dance battle culture in Korea. As a case study, it analyzes Juste Debout, a globally recognized French battle event, through the Business Model Canvas focusing on value proposition, delivery, and revenue generation. To evaluate the applicability of these findings to the Korean context, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six Korean street dancers. The results show that the improvisational and experiential value of battles functions as a distinctive intellectual property (IP) asset. However, value delivery remains largely limited to media content, with insufficient integration into education and career development, while revenue is concentrated among top performers. The study also identifies the absence of career history certification and copyright remuneration systems as structural challenges. Based on these findings, it proposes an “Event-Academy-Media” integrated IP business model incorporating career history certification and copyright revenue-sharing systems for the Korean street dance industry
