The beauty and grace of traditional Central Asian dance comes to the stage with a performance by the award-winning Silk Road Dance Company. The concert celebrates traditional women’s dances of Uzbekistan, providing a glimpse into a culture unfamiliar to most Americans. Located at the heart of Central Asia, Uzbekistan boasts a rich heritage of folk and classical dances. Each region has distinct dance styles, characterized by intricate arm and hand movements, a variety of spins and turns, backbends, shoulder isolations and animated facial expressions. Lavish costuming, made from sumptuous textiles, reflects the history of the Silk Road as a conduit for trade and cultural exchange.
