The first systematic formation of dance in 1958, and its objectives is to scrutinize on Choi, Seung Hee as an educator who moved to North Korea, and it also deviates from previous studies thar focused Choi as an artist in the world of work rather than an educator. Cho Sun Folk Dance Basic Step is still inherited even until today which comprises the moset kerneled and distinctive aspects of dance fundamentals of Choi, Seung Hee. She is the First Korean who studied motions of dance based on logical method, published systematic dance manual and eventually produced educational film of creative performance. This thesis primarily investigates definitions and characteristics of neo-dance which cannot be separated from the world of Choi's artistry in order to conclude what kinds of values are immanent in Cho Sun Folk Dance Basic Step.

The third is the value discovered in aesthetic aspects of Cho Sun Folk Dance Basic Step which pivoted on the core dancing gestures that share national characteristics of Cho Sun. The values of Choi, Seung Hee's Cho Sun Folk Dance Basic Step deviates from the world of works which was previously focused in various studies, and scrutinizes her dancing activities after she moved to North Korea.
