English summary: Dance is one of the cultural topics facing some of the greatest challenges in Iran.

German description: Tanz ist eine der kulturellen Aktivitaten, die sich im Iran grossen Schwierigkeiten gegenuber sehen. Tanz ist in kultureller Hinsicht einer der reichsten und umfangreichsten Kunstzweige mit einer langen Tradition und Geschichte. Aber im heutigen Iran wird der Tanz automatisch als politisches Thema betrachtet, obwohl die Tanzer keine Absicht haben, sich politisch zu betatigen. Trotz der Tatsache, dass der Iran als eines der altesten Zentren fur Tanzkultur gilt, war und ist der Tanz in seiner langen Geschichte, vor allem nach der Ankunft des Islam im Iran, immer vor viele Schwierigkeiten gestellt. Dieser Band bietet eine aussergewohnliche Geschichte des Tanzes, voller Geheimnisse und Humor. Die verschiedenen Entwicklungen in der Geschichte dieser Kunst im Iran wurden noch nie in einem einzigen Buch prasentiert, so dass Tanz im Iran: Vergangenheit und Gegenwart die bislang umfangreichste Arbeit zu diesem Thema geworden ist. Das Buch untersucht die wichtigsten Zweige der iranischen regionalen, ethnischen und nationalen Tanze sowie das iranische Ballett und beschreibt ihre Geschichte bis heute. Die Videos sind auf der Website ... verfugbar und enthalten einzigartiges historisches Tanzmaterial aus der vorrevolutionaren Zeit und Beispiele des iranischen Balletts aus der Gegenwart. Das Buch eignet sich fur alle Schaffenden oder Interessenten an der Tanzgeschichte des Iran
