Simorgh Dance Collective
Preserving Ancient Traditions, Building Global Bridges
Your support helps the Simorgh Dance Collective continue its transformative mission of uniting cultures through the timeless art of Persian and Silk Road dance.
Since 2007, under the visionary leadership of Farima Berenji, this groundbreaking collective has grown into a worldwide community spanning Alaska to Iran, Turkey to Canada. We are proudly the first Persian dance company directed by an Iranian woman to grace a U.S. presidential reception.
