Persian dance for weddings & celebrations
Make your wedding or special event unforgettable, with a celebration your guests will talk about for years to come.
What we offer
Custom made for your celebration
Every couple is different, so every wedding is different. We work with you to create the perfect program. Here are some of the things we offer.
Dance performance
A short show of classical or regional Persian dance, in costume. We can do one or two performances in an evening, timed around dinner, speeches and cake.
Getting guests dancing
After the performance, we bring family and friends onto the floor and lead simple steps so everyone, of every age, can join in.
A typical package starts at $1,550
That’s three dancers performing within 45 minutes of Berkeley, CA. The price goes up or down with the number of dancers, live music, travel and the length of the program, so we’ll put together a quote that fits what you want. Celebrating farther away? We travel often.
