Bastet is known throughout the United States
for her dynamic, double fan dances - a whole-
body, whirling fan technique she began
developing over 9 years ago - that emphasizes
3-dimensional layering of bellydance
movements and fan technique, and making her
a much sought-after instructor. Bastet’s style is
eclectic, drawing from Cabaret, Raqs Sharqi,
Khaleegy, Saiidi, American and Improvisational
Tribal Style (ATS and ITS), as well as modern
Chinese dance and modern breakdance.
Bastet is the principal designer and costumer
for Vintage Jigsaw Designs, specializing in belly
dance costumes created from a blend of vintage
and new materials inspired by 19th-21st
century aesthetic. Vintage Jigsaw prides itself
on providing beautiful, handmade costuming
for every style of dance and every BODY.
