Uighur Dance Hayrona
This piece embodies the vigor and delicacy of Uyghur dance. The Uyghurs are a Turkic people with a rich, ancient culture; they were a force to be reckoned with in the days of the ancient Silk Road. Uyghurs are currently found throughout Western China, Mongolia, and Central Asia. Wang Yen De, the Chinese ambassador in the Karakhoja Uyghur Kingdom in 981-984, praised their civilization and the beauty of their arts, crafts, and architecture.
