Breaking it down with Cashmere


We sat down with our former dancing instructor, Cashmere, on why Tina Turner is her spirit animal and how Sugar Bay has given her a global perspective.

With 18 years worth of dancing under her belt, she's performed all over the country and admits to how much she loves the limelight from her craft.

"Oh! the standing ovations and flowers after the show! I love it. It just reassures me that I was born to dance."

The 21-year-old, who's originally from East Rand Johannesburg, explained to us how she's on a dancing hiatus, and how the sky is the limit.

" I'm currently studying French and working for my dad; just learning new things. I want to grow in other parts of my being." 

1. Describe yourself in 3 words:

"Passionate, compassionate, gwitty (gangster/ghetto/witty). 

2. Hahaha, which counselor , past or present, inspires you and why?

"Afro, he used to tell me that everything you do, should be done with a purpose." 

3. How would you describe yourself as a counselor at Sugar Bay?

"Childhood influencer, one week at a time." 

4. Between Tina Turner and Madonna, who do you think would win in a performance showdown?

"Tina hands down! She's a natural performer, and besides that I love her come up. She's been through so much but managed to use that as a springboard to shoot herself higher."

5. What would you say to anyone who wants to get into professional dancing?

"Don't have an idealistic view of what your journey as a dancer should be. You won't stand on your tippy toes at your first ballet rehearsal. You should honour the process. Drake said it: started from the bottom."
