Description: This image shows members of the Inner Mongolia Song and Dance Ensemble (内蒙古歌舞团) performing a dance they learned from a visiting artist from the Republic of Mongolia. It is in the style of “Khalkha” (哈拉哈), one of the major Mongol tribes in the Republic of Mongolia. The name of the visiting artist who taught them this dance is pronounced in Chinese as “Daoligu’ersurong” (道力古尔苏荣). She worked with the ensemble for approximately two years during the mid-1950s, and this photograph is likely from that time.
