Uniqueness of Traditional Dance in Tibet

Qamo Dance

The other traditional dance in Tibet that i think unique is Qamo Dance. Qamo is a spiritual dance related to Tibetan Buddhism. It is used to reduce evil spirits in monasteries. Qamo dance is originally was a symbolize dance where participants dress up or wore ceremonial masks. A traditional, sacrificial lifetime ceremony was held. Since the killing of lifetime goes against Buddhist rule, lifetime are no longer can be killed.

Drawings are now relieved. At the end of the dance, the performers take an image of  Duoma or people called as the leading demon, made of butter into wildness to burn it, which will drive away evil and automatically will bring good fortune in the coming next year in Tibet.
