Biyelgee (Mongolian Cyrillic: Биелгээ) or Bii (Mongolian Cyrillic: Бий), is a traditional dance from Mongolia. Most of the country's regions have their own forms. The Western Mongols (Oirats) are particularly famous for their Biyelgee dance.
==Origin== Biyelgee is performed while half-sitting or cross-legged. Hand, shoulder and leg movements express aspects of Mongol herders' everyday lifestyle such as milking cows, cooking, hunting, household labor, customs and traditions, etc. as well as spiritual characteristics tied to different ethnic groups.
