In the SPOTLIGHT - Performance Artist: Nobahar Dadui
In 1995, five-and-a-half-year-old Nobahar Dadui fled Tehran, Iran and moved to Canada with her family as refugees. Having roller skated since she was three, embracing the country’s chilly winters by lacing up a pair of ice skates was not only an easy transition for her to make, it made the newfound Canadian feel at home. Now, the 33-year-old performer is a champion both on and off the ice. Here’s what she has to say about her experiences with dance, Cirque du Soleil, acting, Holiday on Ice, coaching and being a competitive figure skater.
