Mongolia is well known for its tradition of contortionism. Have you ever seen a contortionist? The way they twist their bodies is truly amazing. In Mongolia, some girls train from a very early age to be contortionists. They must start early so that their bodies can remain flexible as they grow older. We visited an orphanage today and saw a group of 6 year old girls perform. Wow! If you visit
It's hard to imagine that these are six year old girls doing such amazing moves with their bodies! I wonder how many will continue to be instructed in this craft as they get older. Some of the moves remind me of the artists I've seen in Cirque de Soleil shows.
