They are known to be the fairest creation of poetical imagination. They are hidden among the flowers or gardens in “Shahr Zarin” (Golden Land) and can be found in the world of angels. No description can equal the beauty of the female Pari and the highest compliment a Persian poet can pay a lady is to liken her to one of these lovely aerial beings. In this workshop we will enter the enchanting world of the Paris and learn the beautiful\, gentle movements of Persian dance which portray fairy creatures using hand scarves\, veils\, and canopy to tell their magical stories. The workshop includes a background on history and costuming\, followed by a beautiful fairy dance choreography. Please bring silk veils—large silk veils are best—and hand scarves.
