Join me for a vibrant and joyful workshop where we’ll dive into the enchanting world of Persian dance! Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or completely new to this art form, this session is perfect for starting the year with elegance, movement, and a touch of lightness.

What to Expect:

🌷 Learn the Basics: We’ll cover some foundational Persian dance steps, focusing on graceful arm movements and expressive hand gestures that embody the elegance of this classical art.

💃 Choreography: Add some playful “gher” (coquettishness) to your repertoire as we will experiment with a short Kereshmeh choreography, blending tradition with festive flair. Kereshmeh is a way of dancing born during the Qajar time (18th-19th century) and slowly became a refined style where mimicry, dance, and skillful acting blended together. We will keep it fun and easy!

🎶 Cultural Insights: Along the way, discover the cultural significance of Persian dance and how it connects to storytelling and celebration.
