Folk Dance
Folk dance music plays an important part in the choreographic art of the Mongols.Movements which can be made within a restricted space are essential features of Mongolian dance, in which the smallness of the space is compensated for by the expressiveness of the movements of the hands, shoulders, chest, waist, eyes and head.Choreography is rich and diverse, since people living in different parts of the country employ different means of expressing their feelings (bielgee). Many of the folk dances are performed to the accompaniment of the morin huur, sometimes in combination with other instruments. There are also dances which are performed exclusively to the accompaniment of the human voice.

Transportation
Mongolia is a landlocked country whose neighbours have developed transport infrastructure and facilities that are adequate to handle Mongolia's transit needs. A tripartite meeting among the representatives of Foreign Trade and Foreign Ministries of Mongolia, Russia and China held in Ulaanbaatar in May 2000 has agreed in principle that the three countries would sign an agreement on transit traffic.

Tsam
The Tsam Buddhist religious dance, performed on special occassions by the lames and requiring the wearing of huge elaborate masks, and the sman dances, often imitating and becoming an elaborate personal ritual, e.g. being possessed by a spirit, have Mongol folk dances as their source. The Tsam was performed to the music of the temple orchestra, comprising predominantly percussion and wind instruments, in the style of Tibetan Lamaist music.
