The people of Azerbaijan are proud\, rich in tradition\, and are extremely melodious. Azeri dances are often performed at formal celebrations such as weddings and birthdays. Azerbaijani dances illustrate the nation and its people. They are distinguished by their quick tempo\, optimism\, and portrayal of bravery. \nThe workshop is followed by a series of fun choreographies such as the flower dance and saucer dance and\, if time\, Farima will teach some Kafkaz/Lezghi style dance! Please make sure to bring with you a set of thimbles and a set of teacup (small) saucers. \nHealing Circle/Zikr\nSaturday April 16th\, 7:30-9:00pm\nFarima will lead a healing circle/Zikr.

Includes potluck lunch/Q&A 12:30-1:30pm.\nDance styles\, turns\, and healing movements based on the seven sacred Indo-Iranian/Persian birds.\nIn ancient Persia\, there were seven sacred animals\, birds\, and flowers believed to have carried the spirit of the Gods. In this workshop\, students will learn to incorporate the movement\, feeling\, expression\, and healing power of these birds and to discover their own spiritual bird!\nPersian sacred dance is inspired by Persian poetry and miniature artwork. These enchanting movements and feelings come from a ancient past spanning 10\,000 years. Numerous archeological antiquities and temples have been found that show the connection between animals and dance. These animals were a symbol of the power of life and represented as a spiritual instrument and these seven sacred birds each represented a certain Persian God or Goddess. These rituals and movements are considered the earliest known form of Persian dance and the origin of sacred dance. \nPrice\nFull weekend dance intensive including Friday and Saturday evening events.\n$175 before March 15th or $225 thereafter \nDance workshops\, one day only 10:30PM-4:30PM (please specify Friday or Saturday)\n$100 before March 15th or $125 thereafter \nRegistration\nRegister ONLINE WITH PAYPAL\nOR\nRegister by mailing a cheque made out to: Cathy Stoyko\, PO Box 1196\, Cumberland B.C.
