Moving to Ireland in 2001, she then pursued Irish dance classes with Yvonne Hart. Dublin also offered her the opportunity to study classical ballet with Sylvia Behan and Lisa Tyrell and to take modern contemporary dance with Mariam Ribón. In 2006 she came in touch with Tribal Fusion dance teacher Wendy Marlatt, who introduced her to the fascinating world of Modern Belly Dance. Jasmin Victoria studied the ATS (American Tribal Style) and Rashani Tribal formats under Wendy until July 2009, when her teacher relocated to San Francisco. Since 2006, Jasmin has travelled extensively across Europe to attend Tribal Fusion and Modern Belly Dance workshops with internationally renowned dancers, Samantha Emanuel, Kami Liddle (BDSS), Mira Betz and Donna Meija to name but a few. Jasmin has also enjoyed and will continue to perform at shows, haflas and festivals both abroad and at home. She is currently training to become Level I certified in the Suhaila Salimpour belly dance format. With a Bachelor in European Studies (French major, Italian minor) from TCD, and a Master in International Security and Conflict Resolution/ International Law (DCU 2010), her next academic venture is to take a third-level course in dance studies. Her background and continuous practice of Asthanga and Vinyasa flow yoga informs her current teaching experience. The Beginner and Intermediate Modern Belly Dance classes taught by Jasmin in Dublin focus on improving body and self awareness, strengthening the body and improving endurance and fitness. While classes impart a profound knowledge of belly dance technique, they also aim at introducing choreography and expression through dance. <br><br>Please consult <A Href="http://www.jasbellyfusion.com" target=_blank>www.jasbellyfusion.com </A>for more information.</font></strong> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#9999ff"> <td colspan="2"><div align="center"><strong><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Bodoni MT">KHELASHI DANCE COMPANY</font></strong></div></td> </tr> <tr valign="top" bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td align="right"><A href="Images/Khelashi_dance_Company.gif" target=_blank><IMG height=110 src="Images/Khelashi_dance_Company.gif" width=170 border=0> </td> <td> <p class="style1"><strong><font size="2" face="Bodoni MT">A troupe of fantastic dancers based in Wexford and traveling throughout the country to perform at a variety of events - individually or as groups in all styles of Belly Dance - from classic Egyptian to passionate veil & wings of Isis, Tribal fusion sword dances, Fiery Gypsy Dances and a lot more! <br><br> <br><A Href="http://www.khelashidance.com" target=_blank>http://www.khelashidance.com</A></font></strong> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#9999ff"> <td colspan="2"><div align="center"><strong><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Bodoni MT">LAURA MAEVE</font></strong></div></td> </tr> <tr valign="top" bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td align="right"><A href="Images/LauraMaeve1.jpg" target=_blank><IMG height=214 src="Images/LauraMaeve1.jpg" width=170 border=0> <A href="Images/LauraMaeve2.jpg" target=_blank><IMG height=253 src="Images/LauraMaeve2.jpg" width=170 border=0> </td> <td> <p class="style1"><strong><font size="2" face="Bodoni MT">Laura s interest in dance and stagecraft is a lifelong passion.

I find it really inspiring to see the uniqueness that each woman or girl brings to the dance and to help them explore their gifts and weaknesses further to produce something that is empowering to each person. I also love the fact that this way of dancing helps us to reconnect with each other on an intuitive level, like birds in flight. This has led to the development of my new troupe "Birds of a Feather" who have been performing the funky fusion show "Metamorphosis" around Cork and Kerry. This includes veils,isis wings, pois, martial arts, purple fairies and much more! <br><br>My main motivation is the transformation that I see happening in the lives of the dancers as they become more in touch with their feminine power and sensuality: also the fun and laughs that we have together. </font></strong> <p align="center"><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Bodoni MT"><strong><a href="javascript:window.open('Vicki_contact.htm', null, 'height=400, width=550, resizable=no');void(0);">Vicki's details</a></strong></font></p></td> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#9999ff"> <td colspan="2"><div align="center"><strong><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Bodoni MT">YASMINA</font></strong></div></td> </tr> <tr valign="top" bgcolor="#cccccc"> <td align="right"><A href="Images/Yasmina3.jpg" target=_blank><IMG height=128 src="Images/Yasmina3.jpg" width=170 border=0> <A href="Images/Yasmina2.jpg" target=_blank><IMG height=255 src="Images/Yasmina2.jpg" width=170 border=0></td> <td> <p><font size="2" face="Bodoni MT"><strong>I have devoted my life to the Art of Bellydance and its authenticity as part of promoting my culture.
