“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
Norouz Celebration
Dr. Farima Berenji and the Simorgh Dance Collective will take part in showcasing the Norouz (Persian New Year) celebration at the beautiful Gilroy Library!
Join us for a lively and educational celebration of Persian New Year, or Nowruz. Enjoy traditional spring dances, including circle dances, and learn about the cultural significance behind these movements and their connection to renewal and community.
Explore the symbolism of Nowruz traditions, including the meaning of the holiday and the traditional seven‑symbol spread. This is a welcoming opportunity to learn, connect, and experience one of the world’s oldest celebrations of spring.
All are welcome. No registration needed.
This program is part of Santa Clara County Library District’s celebration of Silicon Valley Reads.
