Educational Outreach
Banafsheh works with presenters to create dynamic educational programs for youth and adults. These programs provide the opportunity for dancers and musicians, non-dancers and musicians, artists, health and education professionals, and members of the community to experience dance and mysticism in a variety of ways.
Banafsheh’s educational programs have been presented in schools, colleges and universities, museums and cultural centers.
School Assemblies/Performances
Banafsheh’s interactive assemblies and performances provide K-12 students exciting experiences in participating as audience members of a live performance either in the familiar setting of their school or in a theater setting.
Programs are combined with historical and cultural information on Persian dance and typically last 35-45 minutes.
