Persian Dance for Your Soul

Join Monelli for a unique one-hour workshop where you’ll dive into the captivating world of Iranian dance, music, and culture. Experience both ancient and modern dance forms in this social dance session. Known as the “classical court dance,” it features solo improvised moves with playful hand and arm gestures that exude a flirtatious vibe.

Come alone or with a partner and immerse yourself in the magic of this dance. Dress comfortably in layers that make you feel confident and don’t forget your water bottle and optional shawl.

Since we’ll be outdoors, feel free to go barefoot and connect with nature. No dance experience needed—just bring your willingness to move and have fun!

This event goes outdoors – rain or shine!
