Introduction
The only language that transcends time, space and nationality... Dance!
Dance–cal ‘Sa–Choom’ is a performance without words, expressing itself using universal
language of movement. The usual barriers between audience and performers collapse as
enthusiastic audience members join in. Standing ovations are the norm.
The word ‘Sa–Choom’ is the short version of ‘Salanghamyeon Choomel chula’. This means
‘Dance when you are in love’. How do we see when people are in love? Most of the time
their body language gives us that information. The ability to move people by using only
your body is the power of the performance.
‘Sa–Choom’ chooses dance as a unique form of expression, its combination of
cutting edge artistic integrity and high entertainment values has delighted international audiences.
From the word go ‘Sa–choom’ incorporates the latest styles.
‘Sa–choom’ audiences are always vocal in their appreciation and often
stand throughout. The power and speed of dancing, blended with elements of comedy take dance to a whole new level.

The new smash–hit Dance–Musical from Korea! In movement and music Sa–Choom tells the
