Persian Dance Workshop with Shadan April 10, 10:30am-12:00pm HST Via Zoom |
ABOUT THE EVENT
Find connection and grounding as we explore the essentials of Iranian dance. After a meditative warm-up, we'll cover several fun combinations to a variety of Iranian music, focusing on arms, body line, and foot patterns. Then we'll dive into a short choreography in the graceful, flowing classical style, emphasizing delicate arm movements and extension. Class ends with a cool down.
