Dance Class with Negar
Class Schedule coming soon
Negar is an Iranian-American artist with a strong passion for the visual and
performing arts. For her, art is a medium to communicate whatever is going on in her bubble with the rest of the world. So in a way, her artworks are the stories of a Middle Eastern immigrant woman residing in the US, trying to stay resilient against life’s crises.
