In the heart of modern Mongolia, a new generation of dancers is forging a global identity. But their world is about to be transformed by the arrival of a living legend: Thelma Davis Martin, an icon of American soul and funk dance. What begins as a one-way mentorship-Thelma sharing her lifetime of experience from the stages of Soul Train to the streets of Los Angeles-soon becomes a powerful two-way exchange. As Thelma guides her students in the art of performance, she finds herself drawn into a world of ancient Mongolian dance traditions, a culture of movement and storytelling that is both profoundly different and deeply connected to her own. SOUL STEPPES captures the electrifying fusion of two worlds, as a master confronts her own assumptions and a new generation discovers its voice. It is a story of friction, joy, and the universal language of dance.
