Janggo dance is a peculiar folk dance which meets the emotional demands and aesthetic tastes of the Korean people and adds zest to the national flavour.
  With a long history in the country, it came into being with the birth of janggo(an hourglass-shaped drum) and its popularization.
  It can be said that it was widely played when peasant dance came into vogue in different parts of Korea and the movements of janggobeaters began to take an important share in the dance.
  The peasant dance was developed into a combination of several dance movements, in which janggo dance played a leading role.
  Today, janggo dance has been further developed to meet the modern aesthetic tastes and is used in the creation of various dance pieces.
