Persian Dance Workshop with Melieka Fathi

Join us in Orange County, for a Classical Iranian Dance workshop with the Melieka Fathi Dance Company. Melieka Fathi is a choreographer and performer of Classical Iranian dance. Her unique choreography style is defined as a blend of historic roots and diasporic inspirations. As the daughter of Iranian immigrants, her passion for dance was paved through a sacred connection to Iranian culture, and through the exploration of her identity as an Iranian-American woman. She is the founder and artistic director of the Melieka Fathi Dance Company based in Los Angeles, California. The company was founded in 2017 with a desire to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity through dance. All company dancers are trained in Classical Iranian dance as well as varying Western and Eastern styles. The company’s primary focus is to preserve and expand upon Iranian arts within the diaspora community. For questions, please contact [email protected].
