Kamini discovered Middle Eastern Dance soon after her migration to Oregon. After dabbling in a few Egyptian Cabaret classes, she stumbled upon an American Tribal Style Bellydance class and was immediately drawn to the structure and group nature of the dance. A few years later she began performing and in 2005 she co-founded a Tribal Fusion troupe called The Bijou Project.
In the words of her dance partner, "Kamini’s approach to belly dance is one of constant evolution. She embraces movement on a variety of mental and physical levels. For Kamini bellydance is not a strictly defined, isolated dance form, but a platform on which an individual may create their own form of expression through dance."
