Korean Cultural Festival — Student Performance Recruitment
The Anna C. Scott HSA proudly hosts the bi-annual Korean Cultural Festival — a joyful celebration of Korean heritage, music, and art.
We are now recruiting ACS students to participate in this year’s festival performances. No prior experience is needed — ALL students are welcome! Participants will learn from experienced instructors during after-school practice sessions leading up to the event.
SIgn up NOW! Classes start 11/18/25!
Please click on the flyer below for class schedules and sign-up information.
ACS students can learn and perform at the Festival:
-
Samulnori means “playing four things.” It features four traditional Korean percussion instruments — Kkwaenggwari (small gong), Jing (large gong), Janggu (hourglass drum), and Buk (barrel drum). Each represents thunder, wind, rain, and clouds, blending together in powerful rhythm and movement.
-
Nanta is a high-energy drum performance inspired by Korean rhythms and modern theater. You get to hit drums loudly and stay in rhythm with your team. We will practice steps, beat patterns, and team moves. When everyone plays together, it sounds and looks amazing on stage.
-
Fan Dance is one of Korea’s most graceful traditional dances. Dancers open and close colorful fans to create shapes like flowers and butterflies, expressing elegance and harmony with nature.
-
Sogo Dance is a lively folk dance performed with a small hand drum called sogo. Dancers move in circles, beating their drums in rhythm while smiling and cheering. It brings joy and energy to both dancers and the audience.
-
K-Pop Dance is inspired by popular Korean pop music and choreography. Students learn energetic group routines that highlight confidence and teamwork, connecting traditional pride with modern culture.
Korean Cultural Festival Performance Information:
• Date & Time: Friday, February 27, 2026 from 6:30-8:30 PM

We look forward to celebrating together with our ACS families!
