About Me

CALLING ALL PIRATES & GOTHS AND DANCERS!!Hi Everyone, We are looking for dancers for our PIRATE GOTHLA - our annual Halloween Show & Bash at the Parthenon Restaurant! The event is set for Saturday, October 27, 2007 pm.For tickets and more updated information please check www.kashmirdancecompany.com for updates. The show will star LARA ZORN or Atash Maya Dance Company www.atashmaya.com/index.html and www.atashmaya.com/bio_lara.htmlThere will be a workshop Saturday morning and LaRa will teach some JUICY COMBOS - ATASH STYLE!!More details to come - please contact me with any questions! Thanks, CorrieLaRa Zorn first become entranced by the art of Belly Dance while watching, some of the original members of, Urban Tribal Dance Company at the Southern California Renaissance Faire. Only eleven years old and very naïve, LaRa believed that the exotic movements must have been limited to mothers and daughters of particular cultures. However, years later, at the age of eighteen, she found Cabaret Style classes at the Riverside Community College. Soon she moved on to such well know instructors as Catharae, Amara, & Shahira. In 2003, she sought out Tribal style classes and, shortly thereafter, found Rachel Lazarus Soto of Devadasi-World Fusion Dance (a Tribal Fusion dance troupe). After a few months of studying exclusively with Rachel, she was invited to become a core member of Devadasi. During that time she had the privilege of performing at a variety of venues and training with many different instructors. Outside projects and instruction later lead her to realize her dream of becoming a member of Atash Maya Dance Company, based in San Diego, with whom she now studies and performs. In addition to that, LaRa now teaches Tribal Fusion Basics through the Norco City Parks & Recreation Center & can be seen performing on “Evolution,” a Tribal Fusion performance DVD, with Devadasi. LaRa is also a Holistic Health Practitioner & Massage Therapy Instructor.-- *..¨) ¸.· ..¸.·*..¨) ¸.·*¨) (¸.·.. (¸.·CorrieCap'n Corrie, Director Kashmir Dance CompanyCheck out: Kashmir Dance Company
After falling head over heels for American Tribal Style Belly Dance with its lush costuming and hypnotic styling, Corrie Walker and Joy Berrett formed the Kashmir Desert Dance Company in 1996.
Their electric stage presence, passionate and talented members, unique tribal stylings and imaginative productions have made them favorites among the tribal belly dance community. Their audience comes for a show - and are not disappointed!
As Utah's Principal American Tribal Style/Tribal Fusion Dance troupe, Kashmir Dance Company is about camaraderie, community and the excitement derived from the powerful energy brought by women meeting and dancing together for themselves first and foremost and then for others. This is a dance form that women of all body types and ages can enjoy. The emphasis of Kashmir Dance Company is one of women's power - embracing our dignity, strength, mystery, and sensuality. We continually cultivate our community and camaraderie both in and out of the studio. We strive to teach our students what a gift it is when we come together to dance.
Kashmir Dance Company is very proud of their extremely talented, stellar lineup of dancers. Their diverse training and skills bring ATS / Tribal Fusion to a whole new level, and, along with its brand new second Tribal Performing Troupe - The Desert Star Gypsies, Kashmir Dance Company continues to maintain the cutting edge for this style of bellydance in the Salt Lake City and Wasatch Mountain areas.
Kashmir Dance Company works continually to bring Tribal Belly Dance to the Community of Salt Lake and beyond with weekly classes, workshops, and seminars, as well as with many outstanding performances at prestigious Utah venues.
