Dance of the Kalmyk - Moiseyev Dance Ensemble - Russia - HQ

A small but unique culture within Russia is that of the Kalmyk peoples. A culture of Mongolian descent, the Kalmyk inhabit the autonomous Republic of Kalmykia on the western shore of the Caspian Sea. The only state in Europe where the dominant religion is Buddhism, Kalmykia and its inhabitants offer a fascinating glimpse into the ancient culture, song and dance of the western Mongolian peoples known as the Oirats. The dance - patterned after horsemen riding their mounts - is performed by members of the world famous Moiseyev Dance Ensemble in Moscow, Russia.
