This study aims to look for the proper directions of following and developing Gyeonggi sinawi dance in the fashion of Kim Sukja by closely examining its kinds and patterns. First, its characteristics and education reality were investigated. Second, the seven kinds of Gyeonggi sinawi dance Kim Sukja allegedly handed down (according to the 121st Report of the Intangible Cultural Assets) were concretely examined. Third, the composition of each dance pattern was studied. Fourth, various beats used in Gyeonggi sinawi dance were revealed. The late Kim Sukja had outstanding artistic talent and ability in Gyeonggi sinawi dance movements, musical composition, gayageum accompanied singing, and pansori episodes. Behind her were master singer Kim Seokchang (grandfather), father Kim Deoksun (belonging to Hwaseong Artist Board), shaman-mother Jeong Gwiseong, and great dancer Jo Jinyeong. Kim sukja's seven Gyeonggi sinawi dance types were bujeong nori, teo beollim, jinsoe, jeseok, kkaekkeum, ollimchae, and dosal puri (designated as Important Intangible Cultural Asset in 1990). Such beats as seopchae (dosal puri), mori, bal ppeodeurae, bujeong nori, ollimchae, jinsoe, and teo beollim (ban seoreum) were mainly used in Gyeonggi sinawi dance. In sum, Kim Sukja's dance was more than an individual's dance to represent the cultural types and life at that time in Gyeonggi-do and be a very important academic historic material. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the present generation to hand down and develop such invaluable traditional cultural materials.
