A little bit about Helia...
Helia is recognised as one of the leading authorities on Persian Dance in the world. Due to the fact that Persian dance is an art form which has unfortunately all but been lost in its native Iran, Helia has studied tirelessly to bring together different sources relating to Persian Arts and Culture to create her own dance format; drawing from Persian Miniature paintings, writings by the great Persian poets such as Hafez and Rumi, Traditional & Classical Music and dances from Iran's neighbouring countries. Helia teaches workshops and courses throughout Europe and runs her Dance Academy in The Netherlands, she strives to raise the profile of Persian dance for the beautiful art form that it is through teaching others.

Natasha performs choreographies by Helia, as well as her own, and continues to learn and work with her.
