Traditional Mongolian Dance
The "Bielgee" dance, or dance of the body, is particular to the people of
western Mongolia. It is performed to the music of Mongolian national musical
instruments, such as the morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) and the yochin
(similar to the xylophone.) Bielgee is traditionally performed on the rather
limited space before the hearth, so the dancers make practically no use of
their feet. Instead, the dancers principally use only the upper part of
their bodies, and through their rhythmic movements express various aspects
of their identities, such as sex, tribe, and ethic group.
Bielgee is a descriptive dance, actually a pantomime, with the dancer acting
several scenes from everyday life of herders, such as milking the cow,
cooking, hunting, etc. Originally, Bielgee was improvised, although the
themes were set. Only much later did it become strictly regimented
compositionally, with a firmly established sequence of scenes. Also, over
time, Bielgee was performed in a variety of locations, including festivals
in herders' tents, ceremonies by local dignitaries, and monasteries.
The first part of the Bielgee dance, called the Elkhendeg, is ritually
solemn, with the dancer slowly spreading his arms, gracefully waving his
hands and moving his shoulders. In the second part, called the Joroo Mori,
the character of the dance suddenly changes. The body rhythmically swaying,
the dancer's movements become light and challenging, in imitation of the
gait of a horse.
Bielgee dance
Dances imitating the gait of a horse, such as the Shonon khar and Jamal khar,
are in general very popular amongst the Derbets, Bayads, Torguts, Khotons
and Zakhchins of western Mongolia. Each nationality, however, performs them
in its own way. The Bayads, for instance, dance on half-bent legs, with the
lower part of the body motionless. The Zakhchins squat as they dance, with
the body inclined forward. The ability to dance without using one's feet at
all is the ultimate achievement in the art.
Another popular Western Mongolian dance is performed with cups. You may come
across old men and women in the countryside who will tell you with
fascination what magnificent dancers performed it in the past when it was
very much in vogue. They balanced cups full of water on their heads without
spilling a single drop. The dance varies depending on whether the cups are
balanced on the head, hands, or knees. The Derbets, Zakhchins and Torguts
dance with the cups on their heads and the backs of their hands, while the
Bayads balance the cups on their knees. Significantly, only males danced
with cups on their knees. The dancers squatted as low as possible, spreading
their legs apart to the width of their shoulders, which was thought improper
for females to do. In olden days, the dance with cups on the knees was
performed on festive occasions, such as feasts and wedding parties.

Mongolian dance began as
a ritual performance imitating the movement and manner of
deities, mystical creatures and legendary heroes. Shamanist
perception of the surrounding world and worshipping of Mother
Nature influenced the style of ancient dancing, as well as the
shape and pattern of clothing and accessories.
The great variety of folk dancing has been enriched by clans,
tribes and generations of performers. Besides folk dances, there
were special palace dances and religious ritual dances.
Organized professional dance performance dates from 1924. The
establishment of the State Central Theater in 1931 opened a new
era for professional and career dancing. In 1941, the Army
dancing branch was formed, and in 1956 European dance began in
Mongolia. The first generation of the Mongolian ballet dancers
were trained in the USSR. B. Jamyandagva was the first ballet
master of Mongolia and is the father of the national ballet.
The State Theater of Opera and Ballet was founded in 1963. Since
then, over 20 world classics including "Swan Lake, "Nutcracker",
"Romeo and Juliet", "Giselle", and "Don Quixote", and more than
20 national classics have been performed on the Mongolian stage
by national dancers.
With the democratic changes in Mongolia beginning in the 1990s,
a new generation of dancers are introducing modern dance.
Despite the strivings of young talents, there are many obstacles
to the development of Mongolian modern dance to an international
level. They still face lack of experience, financial
shortcomings, poor management of foreign relations, etc.
It is worth mentioning the traditional religious ritual dance "Tsam"
as an internationally popular Mongolian performance. It is an
ancient mixture of theater, dancing, ritual ceremony and of folk
tales. Its uniqueness had been highly appreciated in Great
Britain, Germany, France, Skandinavian countries and many other
parts of the world.
