Iranian Dance focuses on upper body movements (mostly hands and shoulders) and includes a personal interpretation of traditional and pop dance along with cultural stories.
Dena Abbasi started dancing as a child and began dancing professionally at 20, when she became a member of a small dance community in Iran, where dancing was forbidden. Dena choreographed dance routines in the early stages of her dancing profession and co-founded Sheed Dance Group in Iran. In 2018, she moved to PEI and started teaching Iranian Dance at DownStreet Dance studio in 2021.

What are Relaxed Performances?
Sometimes referred to as sensory-friendly experiences, Relaxed Performances give the opportunity for those with various sensitivities towards sensory stimuli to experience and enjoy live theatre.
These performances will be designed in a way to be more comfortable for audience members who may experience anxiety or are not comfortable with some aspects of a traditional theatre setting. This can include people on the Autism Spectrum and their families; those with sensory and communicative disorders or learning disabilities; people with Tourette’s syndrome; someone who might need to move often due to chronic pain or to use the facilities; or even parents with toddlers.
