Using her own findings and techniques she makes the connection between soul and movement to create an artist not just a dancer. United in all her accomplishments is her contribution in advocating art\, culture\, and dance to help bridge cultural gaps and create respect among all people. She seeks to lead people to the historic beauty and richness of Persia and the Silk Road culture and to aid them find inner bliss through dance\, music\, and spirituality. \nhttp://farimadance.com
