The Yokhor dance is called the Buryat Yokhor, and it is also called Alar and Eekher. Yokhor dance is a major part of shamanic rituals. It is a ritual song and dance to celebrate the blessings of the spirits. Words “Ah, khurai khurai, eh khurai khurai, ee khurai, yoo khurai” became as Eeher and Yokhor. Dancing around a campfire holding hands is an imitation of camels’ walking or galloping, or of a horse, elk, and deer. While dancing, Yokhor performers sometimes make inner and outer circles, and one person on each side of the inner circle sings and dances while the others support and sing. The costumes of the young dancers at the Yokhor dances shine in the moonlight and fire and look majestic and colorful.
