The Golden Road to Samarkand is a timeless journey in dance to the heart of Central Asia and a fabled city at the crossroads of many cultures. Follow a caravan traveling through desert sands, encountering the Turkmen, Kazakh, and Kyrgyz people of the steppes. Enter Samarkand, the magnificent city of the conqueror Tamerlane, to witness the elegant Persian, Uzbek, Uyghur, Azeri, and Indian dances at the court of the Empress Saray Mulk Khanim.

With award-winning choregraphies and sumptuous costuming, the Silk Road Dance Company and special guest artists bring the ancient traditions of Central Asia to the stage.
