It's been 31 years that dance has been banned in Iran. In these 31 years, the government of Iran has tried to eliminate the presence of women in society. The rights of women have thus been ignored. Therefore, Khorshid Khanoom Dance Group invities all the women and men to come and dance in front of the Iranian Embassy in the capital of Canada, Ottawa. Please put on your most beautiful and colorful costumes and join us in reclaiming women's rights.

Date: Monday, March 8th, 2010 ( Women's Day )
Time: 1:00 p.m- 3:00p.m
Location: 245 Metcalfe Street, Ottawa, Canada

We are expecting a large turn-out. The demonstration will be recorded and posted online. 

Thank you for your support.

This Is Fun, Let's all dance.

All the inhumane death sentences being carried out today and in the last 31 years are to show who is really in power.   
   
Since no one can answer to the system fairly, it is tyranny, monstrosity, dictatorial.   
   
The Islamic and the Republican elements of Iran could one day knocked out of the picture due to their ongoing history of Failure for iranians at the time when iranians depended on them the most. 

Fot that to happen, the Iranian element will need to reemerge strengthened.   
 
Actually that is also my deep seated desire, to see Persia's Traditions revived at the expense of both Islamic and Republican Elements.  So We can welcome back Freedom for Iran and Iran's monarchy's national assembly.   
   
I really Miss all the monarchists.  
 
As the Islamic Republic is defeated tomorrow will always exist and iranians will do well with the reduced baggage, the Islamic Element that has failed them badly. 
 
And the Republican Element is Unworkable in our society in our lifetime.  
 
Then Irans future will rest on the ability of the people to make their own traditional persianness a relevant part of their lives... above religous traditions like islam and above power or politics.  
 

So our priorities will be in order once again.  King, Country, God in third place.  This is the only unifying voice that is capable of rescuing Iran.  But first the people need to be okay with being more of who they really are...

 not what islam says they are.

When was the last time you experienced the persian tradition of celebration, in now rooz style and allowed the celebration to change you for the better, be more hopeful and optimistic?  Attacking Tyrants is not really avoidable for the world to maintain it's freedom, my guess is israel will at some point in the next year attack iran.  Or the USA eventually will within 10 years. OR Islamic republic will cause a conflict to erupt just to prove how deceitful America is within the middleeast.  And the islamic republics inability to defend herself successfully in any circumstance will teach the people what a bunch of losers are succeeding in ruining their lives. Iranians just need to be okay being Iranian again and letting go of everything else and expressing their iranianness no matter what islamic forces try to suppress them. That is what is beautiful about iran, the persian creative spirit that wants to break free after 1400 years of suppression and subjugation by foreign cultures. Freedom From Deceit For Iran.  The Deceit of Corrupt Islamic Authorities And the Deceit of Corrupt, Disingenuos, American Friendship.

I suggest we do everything the regime bans right in front of Iranian embassy including dance, loud music, sex outside marriage, holding hands, kissing, wearing provocative clothing/bikini, marrying only 1 woman and walking next to her not in front of her, publishing truth about the government without fear, ceremonies of Bahaii, zoroastarians, Sufis and any other religion mullahs don't like, wearing ironed shirts and ties, wearing long or "fashen!" hair, drinking beer and all other good stuff mullahs and basijis "PRETEND" not to like.

great idea

by hamsade ghadimi on Mon Mar 01, 2010 06:27 AM PST

i wish i could come. i'm sure many of the wonderful iranians living in ontario (and their non-iranian friends) will join.  i don't think many non-iranians are aware that this simple and universal form of self-expression is banned in iran.  thank you for your awareness campaign.

Dancing Demonstration

by Jahanshah Javid on Mon Mar 01, 2010 12:15 AM PST

I love your idea. It's the most beautiful and creative anti-Islamic Republic action of all. One of the worst aspects of this regime is its grim outlook towards everything. It's really a conspiracy against joy. So why not demonstrate our displeasure by dancing?

Iranians in every capital should do the same :)
