After we
stole her from another village...uh, we mean found her and took
the poor soul in [innocent look!], we taught her the ways of
the Gypsy! She was officially initiated into the arms of Danza
at the 2002 Salisbury Faire in Des Moines, Iowa.
Well, a
little about Kashmir. She became enamored with the "dance"
when as a child of nine she witnessed a professional belly dancer
at a Greek restaurant in Vail, Colorado. She cajoled her mother
into coming back night after night. Kashmir took ballet and
jazz classes in secondary school and began studying Middle Eastern
Dance in 1992.
Kashmir
has introduced her b.i.t. (bellydancer-in-training), her daughter
Katya.
