Abstract
In this article examines and studies the features of Uighur dancing art which at early stages of historical development represented the vast syncretic sight: shaman dancing, Buddhist temple performances. On the basis of historical, linguistic, ethnographic, and archaeological data we assume to conclude that the Uighur people are the composition of two ethnic substrates: the ancient settled population of East Turkestan and the nomadic Orhon- Yenisei Uighurs who have finally settled in this territory after fall of the Uighur khaganate. In this regard, the dancing traditions of two cultures are studied. The dancing culture of Uighurs in the period of Islamic ideology is presented. Interference of musical and dancing culture of the people of the East and Uighurs is investigated. Dances which could not live up to our days and that entered traditional heritage of dancing art are presented. (Saitova G.Y., Izim T.O., Tskhay A.S.
