Kamini discovered Middle Eastern Dance soon after her migration to Oregon. After
dabbling in a few Egyptian Cabaret classes, she stumbled upon an American Tribal
Style Bellydance class and was immediately drawn to the structure and group nature of
the dance. A few years later she began performing and in 2005 she co-founded a Tribal
Fusion troupe called The Bijou Project.
After nine years of performing improvisational American Tribal Style and Tribal Fusion,
Kamini has branched out into solo performances and collaborations with dancers
performing a variety of Middle Eastern dance styles.
When she dances, Kamini strives to convey the essence of the music and emotion
through movement. Whether expressing a particular emotion evoked by the music, a
story, technique, or humor, Kamini's performance will leave you with a feeling of
having experienced something timeless and uniquely special.

Kamini's solos weave creativity, expression, and skill into something wholly original. I'm
always impressed but, more importantly, I'm always inspired. She is genuine and
courageous enough to dance from her soul. -Zweena bint Asya
Kamini is a ball of fire. Dancing with her is like riding passenger in a race car. It's like
your favorite roller-coaster ride. Those sweet 15 minutes of energizing creativity come
swirling out of this talented dancer and I wish it would never end. -Sitris
