Tribal Dance Performance

“The Dancer has direct communication with God, much like a personal phone line. The telephone she uses is her body and she dials by dancing. As such, her dancing is a very, very sensual thing.”

Katie Kalyani has been training in Arabic Dance since she was 15 years old and has studied with renowned teachers such as Rachel Brice and Samantha Emanuel. Her style is a mixture of classical Turkish drum solos with Romani folk dance and American Tribal Fusion. Coined ‘The Mermaid’ for her slinky and watery performance style she is highly influenced by art, many forms of dance movement, stories about goddesses & holistic therapeutics. Katie performs around the UK for festivals and celebrations and has even performed in Cyprus, Morocco, Ibiza and Bali. Her dancing and teachings are shamanic and a way for her to connect herself and others to the divine feminine. Katie is also a qualified yoga teacher, women’s circle facilitator and Reiki master. She is of Romani heritage.
