The Korean Traditional Performing Arts Committee (KTPAC) was established in 2009 by artistic director Dr. Ae-Deok Lee.  The KTPAC was founded under the objective of introducing and spreading the culture and beauty of Korea to mainstream America, and to connect with other cultures in a global age.  KTPAC enables professional dancers to come together in order to develop Korean cultural heritage through various traditional performances.   Since 2010, KTPAC has educated a second generation in Korean culture through their youth group.

Free and open to the public.
