This study was aimed at considering how Chosun dance created by dancer Choi Seung-hee(崔承喜, 1911-1969) born in colonial Chosun had been changed and discussed in a relation with cultural power of imperial Japan. In order to do that, the author classified three periods as the initial stage(1926-1933): Modern dancer Choi in the colonial era of Chosun, the secondary stage(1933-1937): Choi`s Chosun dance and acceptance phase in imperial Japan and the third stage(1937-1945): an alternative Pan-Asianism surrounding dancer Choi in the East and discussed them concretely.
