Kasha is a Tribal belly dancer from Adelaide and runs the Tribalrose bellydance school. Like many bellydancers, she has extensive training in other dance styles, but unlike others, she hasn't used that to create her own fusion style. Instead, she specializes in American Tribal Style and has studied with most of Australia's premier ATS dancers.
I'm told Kasha's sword work -with single and double sword - is something special, maybe one day I'll manage to get a clip!

Shamira - another Adelaide dancer/teacher whose classes have been featured on TV!
I also like their school promo clip:
Shamira's school, Belly Dance Arabesque, teaches Tribal and Bollywood as well as classical belly dance.
I love this clip about Nayima Hassan's Adelaide belly dance school, because it features children. I see so few children belly dancing in our Sydney schools! This video is also a rare thing - a feature about bellydance on a major TV channel, Channel 9. Well done, Nayima!
