🕊️ Witness the Beauty of Persian Dance
PRE-P.S. My bellydance and frame drum classes in Austin, Texas begin this week. Enroll now to join our first session of the year!
The Iranian dance ensemble I work with, Nafas Dance, recently released a new performance video to celebrate Shab-e Yalda, the Winter Solstice.
The inspiration for this choreography by Geeti Shirazi Mahajan was a love poem credited to Taj al-Saltaneh, a Qajar era female poet, talking about the pain of not seeing the face of her love, "Naadeedeh Rokhat" (Without Seeing Your Face).
One may imagine this to feel like not seeing the sun in the dark winter months, as Persians/Iranians celebrate the longest night of the year, Shab-e Yalda (Winter Solstice). Yalda teaches us how to live in the duality of dark and light, with the promise that after every dark era there is light.🌤
