This program was prepared to broaden the base of lifelong learning and to encourage greater citizen participation. Through the shuffle dance classes, participants can experience “small achievements,” and the program will culminate in a “Dokdo Is Our Land” shuffle busking performance at the upcoming 6th Donghae City Lifelong Learning and Book Festival. The event carries special meaning as it aims to foster a “great spirit of protecting Dokdo.”

The course will be held a total of eight times, every Tuesday and Friday from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at the Lifelong Learning Center fitness room, starting September 23 and running through October 24. Participants will learn step-by-step, from basic to advanced moves. Upon completion, they will take to the stage for a flash mob performance at 5 p.m. on both October 25 and 26, during the “6th Donghae City Lifelong Learning and Book Festival” at the special stage in Donghae Wellbeing Leisure Sports Town. Notably, this performance coincides with “Dokdo Day” (October 25), making it an especially meaningful event for citizens.

Kim Eunseo, Director of Lifelong Learning, stated, “Through shuffle dance, which anyone can easily enjoy regardless of age or gender, we hope people will find rhythm and energy in their daily lives and share the spirit of loving Dokdo. We look forward to the enthusiastic participation of many citizens.”
