It is with great pleasure that Donita Ballet announces the addition of Iranian Dance to the dance studio repertoire.  Golnesa Amani, one of Donita’s prized students, began her dance training at the Donita Ballet School in 2005. She currently works as a language, fitness and arts instructor for numerous organizations including the City of Markham, York Catholic District School Board, and Explore It! Golnesa is the director of Boostan Multicultural Collective (BMC); a local, grassroots organization which aims to help elementary school students explore social justice issues by providing fun and engaging lunchtime and after-school arts programs, performances and workshops. Iranian dance is BMC’s most popular program! In August 2015, Golnesa was recognized for her dedication to Iranian dance when she was invited to participate and perform at the 2nd International Iranian Dance Conference hosted by the Iranian Association of Boston.

Golnesa Amani will head up the direction and personalized instruction of Iranian dance.  Students will gain a positive and precise instruction in the art of Iranian dance.  Golnesa pours her love of her Iranian heritage, ballet and dance into every student that she works with.  Both children and adults are welcomed to participate in the Iranian dance classes.
