She Used To Be Iran's Most Famous Dancer
"Before the revolution, Farzaneh Kaboli was Iran's most famous dancer, the glittering star of the internationally renown Mahalli Dancers. Today, at the age of 59, she is a teacher-choreographer without an audience. Only on special occasions can her dances be performed in public and, even then, at the risk of being jailed or fined. Kaboli has been imprisoned twice, and on several other occasions has had to pay heavy fines owing to public-decency complaints that came after the fact." The Globe & Mail (Canada) 08/07/08
