The peasant music dance is a folk dance, created by the Korean people in reflection of the peasants’ life and folk events and spread throughout the country.

The dance came from singing and dancing play related with the Korean ancestors’ labor and daily life in the primitive period. And it has been introduced into agricultural production activities and customs for a long period from ancient times to the modern era, developing into a popular folk art with diverse forms.

The dance includes rice-transplanting, weeding, rice-cutting, threshing, Janggu, drum and gong dances.

The most conspicuous of them is a dance turning round.

The dance is well known to the world as it reflects the soft, elegant, lively and vigorous character of the peasant music dance as well as the Korean people’s optimistic sentiments of life.

The peasant music dance has been effloresced and developed more splendidly in the era of the Workers’ Party, contributing to the cultural and emotional life of the Korean people.
