Cassandra Fox - Featured Artist

Sa'diyya - Your Host

Picture
Cassandra Fox is a belly dance and Caribbean fusion dance instructor and performer from Coldwater, Ontario, Canada. She started dancing in 2008 and since then has been committed to developing her skills and art, and has had the privilege to learn from various workshop instructors . Largely known for her powerful shimmies, free spirited performances, strong technique, and the emotion and personality that she exudes while performing and teaching she has become a sought after performer and instructor both locally and in the international dance community. Cassandra has considerable competition experience, having competed from 2010 until 2014 in various competitions, highlights include multiple top 4 finishes at Belly Dancer of the Universe in Long Beach California including winning Champion in the fusion category in 2012, and the People's Choice Award from Drum Solo in 2014. She has also helped to keep the stereotype of the "Nice Canadian" alive having won multiple congeniality awards. She is perhaps most well known for her Caribbean Fusion style which pulls on her Caribbean heritage (Her family is originally from Jamaica) which fuses Caribbean music and movement with elements of belly dance movement and musicality. She has been fortunate to have a strong social media following and presence, with over 75,000 subscribers on YouTube, over 196,000 followers on Instagram and over 500,000 followers on Facebook, and multiple viral videos, the most notable of which has over 19 million views on Facebook. Having such a presence online has helped to develop helpful techniques for dealing with "hate", how to determine hate from criticism, and how to tune out "the noise" and focus on your art and work. This presence has also allowed her to connect with many people and has presented multiple opportunities to perform and teach throughout the US since 2011. Her experience has motivated her to share the love of dance, music, and culture with others and inspire them to want to have fun while, working hard and learning. Cassandra strives for a fun and focused learning environment while teaching, and an engaging and genuine experience while performing.

Lynx - 2017 Valley of The Queens Champion

Picture
Lynx is a belly dance performer and instructor in the DFW area. As a long time member of the Raksettes and now their instructor, Lynx joined the Wings of Isis in 2015. She is known for her gracefulness on stage as well as her choreography creations. Lynx began dancing in ballet, tap and jazz as a child, and she became a member of her high school’s drill team as a teenager. As an adult, she focused more on fitness, including aerobics, yoga and strength training, but after a lifting injury, she began looking for a new activity. Her mother-in-law recommended she try belly dancing with the Isis Star Dance Studio. Although Lynx was extremely shy in the beginning, the encouragement from studio director Isis Bartlett and friends gave her the courage to dance publicly and ultimately progress to performing on the professional level. She has been belly dancing now for more than eight years and can be seen dancing at a number of restaurants, as well as local festivals, parties and other events. As a choreographer and dancer, she has won and placed in multiple competitions. Highlights include 2017 Live Music Improvisational Belly Dance Champion, Ahlam Al Raks, Valley of the Queens Belly Dance Competition and 2015 Yellow Rose of Texas Troupe Belly Dance Star People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice Winner, Yaa Halla, Y’all.

Lynx will be teaching the following workshop:
​Fri, 7/6, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm: "Melting Into Taxims"
