- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 01:30 pm – Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 03:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Come explore Persian Classical Dance, an elegant and fluid art form known for its beautiful arm and hand movements and graceful quality. Persian Classical Dance has its own structured movement vocabulary, with specific arm and hand positions, precise body lines, and fluid transitions that reflect the curvilinear, graceful aesthetic you see throughout Persian art, calligraphy, and music. Its roots go back to the Qajar dynasty (1795-1925), when the royal court elevated dance into a refined performance art, and it continues to be a living, evolving tradition practiced and taught by dedicated artists around the world today.

In this introductory workshop, we’ll start with a brief look at the history and cultural context of Persian Classical Dance to give you a feel for where it comes from and what makes it distinctive. From there, we’ll dive into the foundational movements such as the characteristic arm and hand positions, posture, and basic footwork that are at the heart of the style. We’ll also touch on how Persian music connects to the movement, helping you understand the rhythm and mood behind each gesture.

Whether you’re completely new to dance or already have experience in another style, this workshop is a wonderful opportunity to connect with a beautiful art form. All levels are welcome!
