Description: The Inner Mongolia Song and Dance Ensemble (内蒙古歌舞团, formerly the Inner Mongolia Cultural World Troupe) was founded under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party in Zhangjiakou on April 1, 1946. It is the most important professional performing arts company of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and one of the oldest performing arts ensembles in China. The Ensemble specializes in the musical theater and dance styles of ethnic minority communities in Inner Mongolia. The initial size of the ensemble was thirty members, but by 1962 it had grown to over 250 members. Between 1946 and 1986, Ensemble members performed internationally in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. This photograph is from a special performance held in 1986 to honor the Ensemble’s fortieth anniversary.
