D.Nanjid is a choreographer, researcher and one of the first professional dancers of bii biyelgee, unique Mongolian folk dance, originated from the nomadic way of life. She has played in more than 300 dance plays, performing as a lead dancer for 40, besides composing choreography of over 280 dances in the past 70 years. In the scope of the anniversary, various events are being organized including scientific conference themed “D.Nanjid Study”, a book and documentary opening ceremony, the 6th dance competition titled “Mongolian traditional dance and inheritance of bii biyelgee,” and a gala concert. It is notable that research works on Mongolian traditional dance, precisely bii biyelgee has developed markedly in the past decades thanks to D.Nanjid’s efforts. Besides she has created her own dance training technique called “D.Nanjid’s Mongolian traditional dance training” making her contribution to training new eras of dancers. She has been formulating dance class curriculum, applying many elements of Bii biyelgee dance in the trainings since she started teaching in the Mongolian National University of Art and Culture in 1993. Her books, handbooks, scientific papers are now used as valuable reference materials in dance trainings, choreography and research works. She also made invaluable contribution to register Mongolian traditional dance bii biyelgee in the UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage in 2010 as well as to promote Mongolian traditional dance throughout the world with her performance in international competitions, concerts and festivals.
