The Korean nation on the Korean Peninsula is an ancient nation engaged in paddy field farming, and Korean dance is formed on the basis of the traditional agricultural culture of Sanhan and the Korean Peninsula. 1948 after the founding of the Republic of Korea, after more than 60 years of development, a dance school different from that of the Korean people has been formed in Korea and China.

Korean dance is based on tradition, putting the past court dance directly on the stage, basically without modification, and attaching importance to originality. It is characterized by the coexistence of classical and modern. There are four main forms: palace dance, peasant dance, classical dance and sacrificial dance (sometimes Korean dance and Korean dance in Chinese folk dance are also translated as "Korean dance")
