Kalyani
Kalyani
began dancing about 4 years ago as
a fun way to get in shape. What she discovered was a beautiful art form that
changed her life. With no former
dance experience and two left feet, bellydance has taught her grace and brought
her a great deal of internal peace and joy.
Bellydance has also provided a wonderful opportunity for Kalyani to express herself
artistically though both choreography and costume making. Kalyani also has an
intense attraction to “sparkly things” which she believes is genetic.
She
has studied
diligently under the guidance of some of Maine’s best instructors, including
Josie Conte, Jamileh and The Pink Gypsy. She has performed locally at the Center
for Cultural Exchange,
several Velvet benefits for Rippleffect, various community
events and festivals,
as well as several private
venues.
She is an early member
of Naya’s Trance and feels fortunate to be part of such an amazing
group of
beautiful and intelligent women.
Kalyani also serves as the web mistress for Naya's Trance!
