Yangju Pyolsandae-nori maskedansen stammer fra Sydkorea, hvor den er blevet overleveret fra generation til generation i Yangju kommunen.
Der er 8 akter i dansen der begynder med "kil-nori", hvor alle de optrædende står på række og marcherer ned igennem landsbyen hvor de engang imellem stopper ved de rige indbyggers huse for at få mad eller penge for at udføre maskedansen.
Yangju maskerne blev oprindeligt udskåret af træ, men laves nu af kalabas da de er lettere og derfor mere behagelige at have på for danserne.
