Tibetan Dances:
Nearly every Tibetan can sing and dance. They sing anytime
for any event
and dance at festivals, weddings, gatherings and during their
spare time.
The Tibetan nationality, or Bo as it calls itself, has a population
of
about 3.87 million, scattered in Tibet, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan, which
are known for their highlands, grasslands, thick forests and abundant
natural resources. The areas inhabited by Tibetans boats a great diversity
of folk songs and dances.
From historical writings we can see that more
than a thousand years ago
folk religious and sorcerers' dances were very
popular in Tibet. They
influenced the Wild Bull Dance, Yak Dance, Deer Dance,
Crane Dance,
Peacock Dance, Sorcerers' Dance, Drum Dance and other kinds
of folk dances
that have been handed down to this day.
