'''''Uzbekistan Dance''''' consists of between 15-20 thousand movements by a performer, depending on the complexity of the dance.[citation needed].An Uzbek dance portrays a story, told by the flowing movements and rhythm. The lithe and expressive hands of a dancer raise and then interweave like two twigs of an almond tree, then one hand is above the head and the other is making swift movements around the body. A medieval poet wrote: "A dancing women! She is swiftly dancing, spinning like snow carried away by a whirlwind. Restless, she is spinning to the left and to the right".[citation needed] |
