Introduction to Persian Dance

  • Music Room on Saturday at 9:00AM

A discussion of the sources (or lack thereof) for Persian court dance of the 16th-17th centuries, followed by an introduction to some basic movements and gestures. There are no surviving dance manuals or choreographies from this period, so the dance style must be reconstructed based on period depictions in visual art combined with elements of 19th-century “classical" Persian dance. At the end of the class, we’ll practice some combinations to traditional Persian music.

Other classes by the teacher(s) listed above are highlighted yellow below.
