Jonathan Austin

Juggler & Magician

Style Weekly writes: "Jonathan Austin... is arguably Richmond's most popular individual performer. He has delighted crowds of all ages.. since he was 14 years old. He is a staple at every major Richmond festival and he typically draws the biggest crowds... Jonathan combines an outstanding personality that relates to children and adults of all ages, with a hilarious sense of humor, timing, skill and feats to provide a truly "must see" show that you will be talking about for a long time."

Khalima

Bellydancing

Khalima is a Richmond, Virginia based performer, instructor, visionary, and artistic personality. She brings together her background in music, art, and a lifelong passion for writing, metaphor, and things that shine into emotional, musical, and narrative renderings of bellydance. Her sense of connection to the audience, the community, and the rich tapestry of culture in our world is the foundation for her work. Her improvisational fusion of Orientale style, energetic movement theory, precise isolations and fluid movement is combined with both non-traditional and traditional music, creating truly unique performance experiences. Khalima has been lovingly described as poetry in motion and as being the music. With a penchant for thinking outside of the box and an insatiable drive to create and inspire, Khalima opened lllumination Dance Studio, Richmond's only studio dedicated to Bellydance in all it's forms and incarnations in September of 2010. She also has a major passion for vegetarianism, promotes vegetarianism through Bellydance Vegan Potluck Socials she holds at Illumination, and can cook up a mess of vegan soul and comfort food!

Khalima is available for both performances and instruction.
