Traditional Peasant Dance of Korea
Pyongyang, September 18 (KCNA) -- Some days ago, agricultural workers in Pyongyang had a peasant dancing contest at the foot of scenic Moran Hill.

Peasant dance, a Korean folk dance, is strong in national flavor and optimism.

By nature, this popular dance was only for men and its movements are virile with main stress put on turning round decorative tassels.

The peasant dance is now developing to conform to the modern aesthetic taste under the literary art policy of the Workers' Party of Korea.
