Persian Dancing with Shadan

Shadan is a wonderful teacher who takes the time to teach each individuals beautiful choregraphies. She is very friendly, graceful and we can see how much she loves teaching her dance class.

Shadan’s adult Persian dance class is the highlight of my week!!! I have always been captivated by the beauty and grace of Persian dances, but was somewhat intimidated to take a class, as the movements never came naturally to me. Shadan is an amazingly talented teacher in this art form! She explains and breaks down the movements so nicely, making them easy to follow. After only a few classes, you really feel like you are getting the hang of it! She is also very knowledgeable about the history of the different dances and regions where they originate!
Shadan brings such positive, joyful energy to each and every class! I can’t help but feel joy and peace as I dance and twirl to the uplifting music, with the other wonderful ladies around me! Thank you, Shadan, for making my Thursday nights so special!

Shadan taught dance class for our school’s Spring Festival in May. The parents loved it & praised her instruction. The girls learned so much in a short period of time due to Shadan’s dedication & instruction. I’ve experienced Shadan teaching children from ages 2 – 10 and they have a lot of fun while learning a new culture. I highly recommend her dance classes.

My 8 year old daughter has been taking Persian Dance lessons with Shadan for several years now and absolutely loves it! Shadan has a special way with her students making them feel important and the center of attention even though they are in a group. She has also fostered great friendship and camaraderie among her students teaching them to help each other learn and perform. It’s been a pleasure watching my little girl develop a love for Persian Dance, and to see her learn to perform in front of an audience without any hesitation all thanks to Shadan’s gentle encouragements and natural teaching style.

I am a mother of two little girls age 4 & 6. My girls love going to Shadan’s dance class. Shadan is an amazing teacher. Although she is teaching a group lesson but shadan has a special way to constantly connect with each student and to make sure that they feel involved and focused. The girls have not only had a chance to learn an important part of the Persian culture but also they have learned to be a lot more social and comfortable in front of any audience. I am very happy that I was able to find Shadan and I would recommend her class to anybody who is looking for an all around experience.

My 6 year old daughter, has been taking Persian Dance lessons with Teacher Shadan for the past year. In this time, not only has Teacher Shadan managed to cultivate the love of Persian dance and an array of Persian music, from folk to modern in her students, she has also given them an appreciation for Iran’s rich cultural diversity through exploring dances, music and costumes from various parts of Iran. She has a great way to connect to all her students and keep them engaged throughout the class.

I never thought i could learn to dance but after only one class with Shadan I already have some moves to show off to my friends! Shadan is an absolute natural when it comes to teaching dance. She not only patiently took her time to show us the exact moves she also talked about the history of it which made the dance even more special. I also left the class feeling more centered and balanced. I highly recommend her class!
