Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts
Okay, so imagine you really like singing and dancing - it's so much fun to pretend you're on stage performing for everyone!
Well, there's a special place in a faraway land called Tibet where lots of people love performing too. It's called the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts, or TIPA for short.
At TIPA, people learn all about traditional Tibetan music and dances, which are special ways of singing and moving your body that have been passed down from generation to generation.
They have teachers who will show them how to use their voices, instruments and body movements to make beautiful music and mesmerizing dances.
Now, some of these dances and songs tell stories about things like good luck, or hoping for kinder times, or are meant to be a celebration of nature, humanity or the universe.
People in Tibet love to watch these performances and they love sharing them with others from around the world, so that everyone can learn about and enjoy the amazing culture of Tibet.
Does that make sense?
