Cassandra Fox

Cassandra Fox began belly dancing in 2008 and developed from a local Canadian dancer into an internationally recognised performer and online educator. Her performance style is known for powerful shimmies, expressive improvisation and an unusually relaxed relationship with the audience and camera. Cassandra also created a Caribbean Fusion approach that incorporates elements connected to her Jamaican family heritage into belly-dance vocabulary. Between 2010 and 2014 she participated extensively in competitions and achieved several notable placements and awards. Her career later became strongly connected with social media, where videos of her dancing reached millions of viewers and introduced belly dance to audiences outside the established festival community. She continues to perform, teach online and internationally, and demonstrate how digital platforms can create a major professional dance career independently of traditional stage institutions.
