The portrayal of the Iranian cabaret dancer as a “fallen woman” permeated Iranian society as the millennia-long perception of all dancers, male and female, as sexually-available individuals who occupied the bottom rung of society. The reluctance to acknowledge a past as “former cabaret dancers” in the post-revolutionary era remains understandable, even decades after the cessation of cabaret activities in 1979. The lasting cultural image of prerevolutionary cabaret dancers, defined by suggestive attire, erotic movements, and sexualized portrayals, starkly contrasts with the current norms of modesty in Iranian society. This disparity may have contributed to reticence among former cabaret performers to participate in interviews, driven by concerns about potential researcher biases and scandalous implications. Nevertheless, for this presentation, I have managed to interview three women who were active in the pre-1979 cabaret scene.
