They are sure to become bellydance fusion's next superstars!

The members of Isis are:

~ Akasha ~

(member since October 2006)

She has been dancing various styles since age 2; however, once she found bellydance, she knew that was it - "this was me"! Akasha has been bellydancing for several years independently, but is now ecstatic to be a part of Cairo Fusion, and improve her skills and styles. She is also a musician and feels a deep connection to the music as well, and always tries to incorporate that into her dancing. Akasha is a complete joy to dance with, and brings bundles of smiles to both class time and performance!

~ Araxie Nanshe ~

(member since October 2006)

Araxie Nanshe was first intrigued by the world of belly dance when she saw the beautiful Cecilia dance to a Tool song at Eagle Island in May '05….she's been hooked ever since. Among Cecilia, Araxie Nanshe has been inspired by UNMATA, Azula, The Uzume, Dragomi, Mazana, Cymma~Tribe, Samira Il Naia, Itheyla, Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes, Ariellah, and many many more. While working on the documentary "Belly" with Full Tilt Boogie Productions, Araxie was given the opportunity to watch many beautiful and talented dancers from around the country. Through these experiences, she has found her heart in the style of tribal fusion. Watching belly dance is a very emotional experience for Araxie, and she hopes she can give her audience the same spiritual connection that many other talented dancers have given to her. Araxie Nanshe's reason for dancing is always evolving, and has developed from being a rite of passage into womanhood, to promoting positive body image in women. "Movement never lies. It is a barometer telling the state of the soul's weather to all who can read it."

I dance because life is simply better when I do.”
