Masters in music (instruments and vocals) and dance. It showcases the colourful and intricate design in their costumes. They show how Mongolian incorporates cultural and historical aspects into their performances. Vocal inspired from nature, weather and animals. Dance inspired from archery, battles and wrestling (dance footwork).
Thank you so much for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We are delighted that you appreciated the traditional instruments, vocal styles, choreography, and intricate costumes. Highlighting how our performers incorporate Mongolian culture and history into the show means the world to our artists.
