It wasn’t long before Kamaria was performing in student recitals, participating in student troupes and performing at local restaurants, haflas and festival; expanding her horizons to include solo performances and a trip to Egypt for a dance adventure. Kamaria brings grace and beauty to the dance and her administrative skills to the troupe as its Business Coordinator. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a6f1a5e4b0d1cd06ecfd60/1509158532889-RO9I9DBQW7JOENHDFVVH/SilkRain3.jpg SilkRain - a Dance Company - LaDanse Oriental Dance Competition SilkRain takes 3rd Place in the Troupe Category 2016 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a6f1a5e4b0d1cd06ecfd60/1420247551818-5D2TMH0LILASSNMSZ9FR/Mikki-with+watermark.jpg SilkRain - a Dance Company - Mikki Saffron Photo by Tero Photography Originally from Japan, Mikki settled in Seattle about 6 years ago. Although she found it challenging to knock on the door – starting new things in a new place - she couldn't resist the chance to explore the art of belly dance and has been obsessed with belly dance ever since that first day of class. Mikki, also known as Saffron, was a student of Malia’s for nearly 4 years and a member of Bella Rosa since 2013. She performs Raqs Sharki and folkloric styles including her favorite Saidi and most recently Iraqi dance. Mikki’s quiet charm draws her audience in and makes them feel at ease. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a6f1a5e4b0d1cd06ecfd60/1420247357590-8B8TEJLA6IOZIGJPUFZC/Siobahn.jpg SilkRain - a Dance Company - Siobhan Photo by Tero Photography Siobhan took her first intro to belly dance class on a whim when she was looking for a new hobby and way to get exercise. Soon she was in the studio learning and rapidly growing in skill. She found the combination of sisterhood and therapy from dance was addicting, as were the sequins. While the glitz of raqs sharqi initially grabbed her, she also performs traditional folkloric. Siobhan specializes in balancing sword and you won’t want to miss it, her statuesque presence is matched only by her playfulness on stage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a6f1a5e4b0d1cd06ecfd60/1531679018308-N77U8T40S8JZUOTIZ9VQ/Sway3_2018.jpg SilkRain - a Dance Company - Sway Photo by Al Martinez Never in a million years did she think she'd end up changing so much, that she'd blossom into someone who dances. But in the past 5 years, Sway has learned, laughed, sweated, performed live music improvisations, and learned about worlds that she didn't even know existed inside, as well as outside herself. She’s performed at several restaurants, as well as helped backstage in many stage shows. She competed in the 2016 Belly Dance off in the rising star category, and is excited to expand her dancing ventures in the future. Promoting peace and love is a full time job, and dance is one of the most beautiful ways to do it! In one way or another, she will dance her way through the rest of this life. (and maybe the next one too!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a6f1a5e4b0d1cd06ecfd60/1421709886135-QX10SZVF1YFXWBKLY9IL/image-asset.jpeg SilkRain - a Dance Company - Michelle Photo by Chris Yetter Originally from Scotland, Michelle moved to the United States 8 years ago. Her whole life has been filled with a passion for dance; she began Bhangra dancing (Punjabi folk dancing from India) in 2009 and performed with the troupe, Rhythms of India, in the Seattle area. After taking some time off from dance to have her first child, Michelle began belly dance classes with Malia and fell in love with the theater, improvisation, and sisterhood aspect of the dance. Michelle’s style and bright smile light up a stage whenever she performs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a6f1a5e4b0d1cd06ecfd60/1744389283229-TP1JAEIJJMD3A72N4X4N/SilkRain2+Obermann.jpg SilkRain - a Dance Company https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a6f1a5e4b0d1cd06ecfd60/1420247646888-LKWMXCL3ZOQ1J3BGKUFC/Student+hafla_12-2014.jpg SilkRain - a Dance Company Members of SilkRain Dance Company perform at a holiday hafla. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a6f1a5e4b0d1cd06ecfd60/1434901857094-08UBAJFJZWVLHJQ05HF6/image-asset.jpeg SilkRain - a Dance Company - SilkRain - a Dance Company, Springtide Bellydance Show 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a6f1a5e4b0d1cd06ecfd60/1451749630117-50VMAZ6UBS4LWG27D49L/image-asset.jpeg SilkRain - a Dance Company - SilkRain - a Dance Company Halloween Hafla 2015 SilkRain having fun at the annual Halloween Hafla.
