This study is a theoretical approach to feminism. Following three creative dances participated in the study to seek a thread of Korean dance culture and to catch its relationship with feministic realities; A Tree Rain by Hak Sun Lim, A Lady Embraced a Moon by Eun Ju Lee, A Pouch by Sam Jin Kim. The results are as follows. A remarkable scene of old Korean history was adopted to put in feministic theme in Korean creative dances. Patriarchal ideology, cultural color and social realities appeared in the dance The issue of woman entertainers during Japanese invasion, for example, was a theme. Women in the dance had positive and sovereign images and carved out their own destinies, free from environmental restraints. There appeared a resolute will striving for truth and freedom with feminism restoration. Masculine and dynamic moves in the dance revealed a strong, egotistic woman image. The feministic realities of Korean creative dances have been cone true in active, indepen-dent motions rather than passive, negative ones.
