Choshio Dance Dating back over 1,000 years, the Choshio Dance is a dance to frighten away devils and pray for good luck and harvests. It is enjoyed on many important occasions and festivals in Tibet. It is fairly popular in Shannan and Shigatse, although the styles differ slightly depending on the region. In Shannan, the two leading dancers wear white masks. One of the dancers stands in front of the dancing square while the second stands behind it. The other dancers wear long braids, and each carries a small drum fastened on the waist. Accompanied by thunder-like drumbeats, the dancers' braids swirl around with their bodies, creating a spectacular and impressive sight. The Choshio Dance was performed at the inauguration ceremony of the Samye Monastery as well as at the wedding ceremony of Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng.
