This dance …
is called: Biyelgee - Mongolian Traditional Folk Dance
Biyelgee dances embody and originate from the Mongolian nomadic way of life.
Societal relevance
The dances play a significant role in family and community events such as feasts, celebrations, weddings and labor-related practices, simultaneously expressing distinct ethnic identities and promoting family unity and mutual understanding among different Mongolian ethnic groups.
Biyelgee dances are typically confined to the small space inside the ger (nomadic dwelling) and are often performed while half sitting or cross-legged.
Hand, shoulder and leg movements express aspects of Mongol lifestyle including household labor, customs and traditions, as well as spiritual characteristics tied to different ethnic groups.
Music
In Biyelgee, music plays an important part in the choreographic art of the Mongols. Many of the folk dances are performed to the accompaniment of the Tovshuur ( a two or three-stringed lute), Morin Khuur (Horse-headed fiddle), Ikhel (similar to the fiddle it has a pair of strings made from horse tail hair and is played with a bow) sometimes in combination with other instruments. There are also dances which are performed exclusively to the accompaniment of the human voice.
Costume
Biyelgee dancers wear clothing and accessories featuring color combinations, artistic patterns, embroidery, knitting, quilting and leather techniques, and gold and silver jewelry specific to their ethnic group and community.
