A spectacular Mongolian dance, music performances plus mouthwatering grassland fare such as whole roasted sheep, as well as a generous buffet piled high with endless variations of mutton and salads. The show displays the lives of the Mongolians, with talented singers, dancers and stunt performers - in one scene the bride and bridegroom come into the room on a camel!
The Mongolian minority that live in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, will always move their shoulders when riding across the grassland, no matter how slow or fast the pace. Hunting, lassoing horses, milking, shooting, and wrestling, all involve upper body movements, especially stressing the movement of shoulders. |

So one of the most typical aspects of Mongolian dance is the shaking of the shoulders. The dance was modeled on the heroic personality of the Mongolians, and expressed metaphorically evoking the flying eagles and geese. The males dance forcefully, at a fast pace while the females dance gently and at a slow pace, with hands deft, wrists flexible, arms pliable, shoulders charming and chests relaxed, full of gentility and grace. |
