Persian Dance Intensive: January 31st -February 2nd, 2025
“I LOVED the workshops! The choreography was beautiful, and I plan to perfect it and perform it. Instruction on technique was just wonderful. It was great having Amir instructing music! The warmups were so good. And all the people were lovely. It was a magnificent and inspiring workshop weekend!”
“Everything was great, loved the dancing portions especially, Amir’s visit was such a treat and it was a nice balance doing the Franklin workshop the last day”
