Published: January 18, 2002
New York Times Dance critic Jennifer Dunning mentioned Laurel Victoria Gray's groundbreaking video on Uzbek dance --
''Dances of the Silk Road: An Introduction to Uzbek Dance'' -- in this article about the Jerome Robbins Dance Division of the New York Public Library of the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.
She wrote:
''an hourlong 1986 video called ''Dances of the Silk Road: An Introduction to Uzbek Dance,'' distributed by the Uzbek Dance Society of Seattle. This video focuses on women's dance but offers intriguing looks at the basic arm gestures and characteristic movements of the forms as well as the costumes, jewelry and music associated with the dances.''
