What is Iranian Dance?

This dance style is characterized by fluid arm and hand movements that embody iconic shapes and images found in the aesthetics of Iranian art, and distinct cultural nuances and social mannerisms. Graceful body lines reflect the rich aesthetics of Persian/Iranian culture. Rhythmic foot patterns texturize the movement and connect it with the music.

Note: The terms “Persian” and “Iranian” are often used synonymously and there is some confusion and much discourse around the appropriate term for this dance genre. In the West this dance style is often referred to as Persian classical dance, however, in Iran it is called Iranian Dance.
