This is the first volume fully theorizing the Korean folk dance tradition. Folk dances from various regions are introduced and their characteristics are discussed. The underlying spirit of Korean folk dance comes from Eastern religion and philosophy, and its profound spiritual background arises from the rhythm of nature, which arises from the state of self-renunciation.
