Testimonials

“We are all so lucky to have you as part of our culture and community. Pushing through all barriers to promote our community for our children and our heritage. Love your energy! More power to you. I am always a fan and a supporter as you claim new territory for us all.”

— Azita A.

"Thank you so very much and your team from my Dad and I for coming out to Stoneridge Creek to perform for the residents and guests. We got such rave reviews about the program in the past 24 hours and some residents specifically mentioned how nice it was to have the young ones there. We are so proud of the girls and the time the parents put into this activity and proud of what you've been doing for so many years. You are truly an icon in our Persian community!”

— K. Z.

“After the show, we had several people (we had no idea who they were) approach us to tell my daughter they simply couldn't take their eyes off of her, her smile, and how graceful she danced. Believe it or not, as they were sharing that, I remembered your voice and how you always encouraged them to dance in a way that.”
