About this user

Atash Dance Group is the first contemporary Persian dance group established in Canada. Atash Dance Group was established by Mojdeh Shahriari in Vancouver, Canada in 1990. Atash Dance Group's main activities have included dance training, dance productions, dance performances in multicultural events, workshops, and several dance videos. All Atash Dance Group members have received dance training in the group's dance classes, which has included classes in classical Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop, and a variety of Iranian folk dances.
Atash means fire in the Persian language and is associated with the rich cultural traditions of Persia and Zoroastrianism. Iranians still celebrate the end of winter and the coming of the Persian new year by festivities that include jumping over the fire.
The following is a list of some of Atash Dance Group's own productions:
1992 Bahar-e-Yaran (Renewal of Friendships) -- produced in celebration of the Iranian Norouz Centennial Theatre, North Vancouver
1993 Bahar-e-Yaran(2) - produced in celebration of a Zoroastrain celebration: Ordibehestegan Centennial Theatre, North Vancouver
1994 Bahar-e-Yaran(3) - produced in celebration of the Persian Mehregan Centennial Theatre, North Vancouver
1997 Mehr Dance - produced in celebration of the Persian Mehregan Centennial Theatre, North Vancouver
1999 New Traditions - produced in association with City Festival 1999 King Edward Campus, Vancouver

Atash Dance Group has also produced three dance videos: Crazy Love, Blossoming Out of the Dust and Ash (based on the famous poetry of the Persian Hakim Omar Khayam and original music by Peyman Parsa), and Rahrovan.
