A monthly cultural evening of dance and music from the Middle East, featuring performers influenced by all forms of Arabian Dance. Each month we will spotlight a performance from another part of the world, highlighting how all types of international dance can influence each other. An evening of dance, music and camaraderie in the most beautiful surroundings of the Star and Garter’s sumptuous Ball Room, situated in an idyllic location alongside the River Thames in Putney.
We look forward to welcoming you on the last Sunday of each month…
The Silk Route refers to a trade route through regions of the Asian continent, connecting both East and West Asia to Europe. The route enabled people to transport goods, especially such luxuries as silk, satins, musk and precious gemstones by linking traders for thousands of years. This trade was a significant factor in the development of the great civilizations of Egypt, China, Persia, Arabia and India amongst others.
