Mongolian traditional contortion
Description Mongolian traditional contortion is a form of acrobatic dance involving dramatic bending and flexing of the human body. This art, practiced mostly by girls and women, aims to display the beauty and flexibility of the human body through breath-taking bending, folding and flexing techniques that incorporate elements of Mongolian dance and Buddhist fine arts. The Mongolian traditional contortion is one of the phenomena that greatly contributed to the art of world circus. T.Tsend-Ayush, D.Majigsüren and B.Norovsambuu are the main contributors to the history of the development of contortion.
