I like dancing.
I have studied belly dance, Flamenco, Bollywood, and Persian classical dance with an emphasis in Azeri folk dance.
“Le Premier Printemps”
A variety show that I co-produced in May 2014, Le Premier Printemps was a re-telling of the Greek myth of Persephone. The following is a dance I co-choreographed along with Caroline Gauthier for the show. In this dance Persephone is reunited with her mother Demeter, and the two women welcome spring. The dance was influenced by the Bujnoodi, Bandari, Baluchi and Azeri folk dances of Iran, with music by Farrokh Vahabzadeh.
