SUMMARY:Classical Persian Dance Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Persian Classical Dance Workshop with world renowned dance choreographer\, ethnologist\, and Sufi master Dr. Farima Berenji.  \nExperience one of the world’s most enchanting dances. Persian dance is inspired by medieval Persian poetry\, miniature artwork\, sacred elements\, animals\, and geometry. Persian dance comes from an ancient culture of 8000 years and its movements often reflect the swirling of a birds\, beautiful gesture and feelings\, footwork patterns\, and dazzling spins. Many great Persian poets extolled dance in their poems and used it as a symbol of the power of life and represented dance as a spiritual instrument to become one with the Divine. \nPersian classical dance is delicate\, intricate\, subtle\, and full of meaning. Delicate hand movements\, gentle upper body undulations\, and facial expressions are the essential elements of this dance. The dance emphasizes feeling\, rather than movement. The dancer tells a story\, by displaying a variety of expressions. \n$45 in advance or $50 at the door. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Contemporary Persian Dance Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Persian dance workshop with world renowned dance choreographer\, ethnologist\, and Sufi master Dr. Farima Berenji.  \nIn the early 19th century\, new styles of dance began to develop in Persia.  Artists traveled to Europe\, creating a bloom of modernism in the arts\, particularly in the royal courts.  Illustrations of this period include splendid paintings and texts emphasizing modern contemporary dances in the court and among the elite families.  The West\, largely as a result of political connections with France\, England\, and Germany\, increasingly influenced Iranian art and dance.  As a result\, dancing changed dramatically\, and classical Persian dance styles merged with Western ones.  Ballet\, Flamenco\, and other modern dance influences migrated to Iran\, ushering in the modern age of Persian Dance. Persian contemporary dance today continues to be influenced by fun and inspiring styles bridging east and west as well as the cultural history of its people.    \n$45 in advance or $50 at the door. \nRegister
