Sasha Ashwini
Professional Dance Artist & InstructorSasha Ashwini is a contemporary dance artist, educator, and researcher originally from Vancouver and currently based in Montreal.

Her movement practice is informed by lifelong professional training in Bharatanatyam alongside extensive training and performance experience in contemporary dance.
