The Current Situation of the Inheritance of Mongolian Andai Dance

The traditional Anday is a folk song and dance form which is mainly sung and accompanied by dance movements from the artistic point of view. After the 1960s, the development of Andean dance entered a golden age. With the development and prosperity of the dance business, on the basis of widespread popularization, there has been a greater improvement. At this time, according to the law of dance movement, Andai increased forward running, turning and jumping, sucking the leg in the air, curling up in the air, rotating left and right, flinging the silk squatting and stomping, arms wheeling the silk and other difficult movements. The dance vocabulary is novel and rich, with aesthetic features such as stability, accuracy, sensitivity (speed), cleanliness, lightness, softness, robustness, rhyme, beauty and love. It has been widely used by various forms and contents of songs, dances and other performing arts, and has become a relatively perfect dance art that can express traditional, dramatic and psychological structural works.

Andai Odori, through the efforts of many artists, has gradually developed into a stage art from folk art, and has settled down in cities and towns, becoming an indispensable part of celebrations and banquets, as well as receiving and presenting gifts.
