The Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies and Diaspora Arts Connection proudly presents Norooz Spring Dance to celebrate the arrival of the Persian New Year, Norooz. Norooz is a celebration of nature, music, and movement. No matter where you are in the world, we want to bring Norooz to your home. Parts of this project highlight a rare collaboration between Aisan Hoss, a contemporary-Iranian dancer, and pioneer choreographer Haydeh Kishipour. Kishipour is one of the pillars of Iranian dance inside Iran, who has continued to teach even after the revolution. Sit back and enjoy the music and dances of Iran , Azerbaijan, and Afghanistan and let the music and beauty of the movements sink in your soul. Aisan Hoss and Dancers will be accompanied by musicians led by Nariman Asadi in their performances.

We are grateful to our platinum donors The HAND Foundation and Norooz Outreach for their generous donations, which have made this event a reality.
