Dancers Wanted! Ney Nava has both a traditional and contemporary Persian repertoire. We also create modern avant-garde choreography. The company tours and has paid performances with major cultural institutions (locally this includes the Getty, UCLA, Armand Hammer and others). Shida Pegahi, artistic director, currently teaches at Westside Academy of Dance and was former director of the dance program at Crossroads. Critic Lewis Segal of the L.A. Times has called Ney Nava's dances "gracious" and "adroitly choreographed." We are seeking dancers trained in ballet, modern, jazz or Middle Eastern styles.  Contact Ney Nava at 310.497.4083 Email [email protected]
