“Everything in dance is poetry. Every movement describes a story, a feeling. The dancer takes the audience into a world of fairy tales.” ~Farima Berenji

Palo Alto World Music Day
June 19, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 6:45 pm PDT
FreePalo Alto World Music Day is a free community cultural music festival that takes place every year on Father’s Day in downtown Palo Alto. Closed to traffic, University Avenue becomes an impromptu venue for fifty professional and amateur musical groups who perform a variety of genres on street corners and plazas: jazz, blues, classical, pop, rock, klezmer, Greek, Balkan, Indian, World Music, choral, and dance! This is a fun and unique family event not to be missed! Over 20,000 people attended in 2015. The celebration runs from 3:00pm to 7:30pm
Participants may watch and are invited to join the Farima Dance Company in dances of the Silk Road from 6:00 to 6:45pm. They will be performing outside HanaHaus, 456 University, the former Varsity Theater, pictured below.
