Dance Histories: A Journey Across the Muslim Silk Roads

Dance Histories will be a high quality book with 30 full colour photographs. Available in paperback and hardback, it is the perfect coffee table book. The beauty of Muslim dance goes deeper than aesthetics alone. It unravels a rich spiritual tradition that is often ignored, distorted or outright discouraged in the modern world. Looking at dance in Muslim cultures allows us to re-evaluate misconceptions and reveals a different side to these communities; a human side in which dance is used for self-expression, celebration and art, as well as spirituality. The title will cover areas including the history and spread of Muslim dance cultures and styles across Europe, the Middle East and Central and South Asia.
