Kashmir

Philosophy: Personal expresion of the music through dance but grounded in an awareness of the cultural background and safe dance practice.
Kashmir is strongly influenced by Egyptian style, in part due to past overseas secondments as a software engineer/trainer which allowed her to study from Egyptian master teachers. From these Kashmir developed a strong knowledge of Egyptian folk styles which was deepened by annual attendance of Winter Warmup intensives. She has also studied Safe Dance Practices over a number of years including specific application to belly dance.
