4 The Gyormolung School
The Gyormolung School from the Shannan and Lhasa areas was the most recent school to be formed. Creative in singing, choreography, stunts and comic effects, it is the most developed among the four schools, and has formed a jubilant style with rich and colorful singing and dancing. It is the most influential and most popular of the four schools. Today Gyormolung troupes are active in different parts of Tibet. They are even popular in Sichuan's Garze region, India and Bhutan.
