It is sad that he has to stay out of his motherland and does not have the support of his nation. He could develop the art of dance and the iranin taste about dance. I am impressed with our people however when I find that there are some creative artists like Shahrokh who keep our culture and art alive with their sacrifice.

This is a very challenging job, he is doing what Ferdowsie did because our culture has been so much touched and manipulated. We needed this. It was way overdue. 2000 years overdue.
