Hourasa is an Iranian dancer based in Toronto-Canada.

She was trained in Iranian dance (also known as Persian dance or Raqs) in her home town when she was 10, under supervision of Susan Shariati, the master of Iranian dance. Hourasa started teaching Iranian dance in her country at the age of 18. One of her interesting experiences in learning Iranian Dance is attending in Farzaneh Kaboli’s dance class, who was a professional dancer and ballerina in Iran.

After immigrating to Canada, she focused on becoming more familiar with different styles of dance and teaching in Canada, which helped her to create a new method and discipline in teaching Iranian dance (Persian Dance) which is unique among this style. She uses traditional music in her classes to add to the cultural experience.

On 2017, Hourasa started teaching two types of dance in Toronto-Canada:1-Iranian dance in Hourasa style 2-Whirling Dervish (also known as Sufi Dance or Sema) and Mystical dance. She has had some workshops in Iran and Canada. In these workshops she focused on whirling dervish dance and Mevlana’s “Rumi” poems and has created a type of dance-meditation with Sufi Dance. During Pandemic she had taught online and in person classes for students all over the world.
