Woman wearing a long-sleeved red dress with a full skirt spreads her arms wide with her fingers pointed back toward her, as she dances on a vast empty plain underneath a cloudy blue sky.

In this program, the ethereal voice of Buren Bayaer (a legendary Inner Mongolian Singer), along with the images of yurts and running horses, brings the audience to an otherworldly setting of Inner Mongolia. The span of the great plain has cultivated the openness and strength in this ethnic group and nurtured their vigorous, bold, and energetic dances. Part of "The Heritage of Chinese Culture and Dance" series.
