Founder and director of the only Flamenco academy and professional Flamenco dance company in India, Cassum is the first internationally trained professional Flamenco dancer to bring the artform down from Southern Spain to the Indian subcontinent, and teach it authentically. The main center of her dance institute, the Shehzeen Cassum Flamenco Academy, is in Mumbai.
Shehzeen is also a trained teacher and member of the Alianza Flamenca Board, which is a globally recognized Flamenco Association whose dance syllabi is widely used across 4 continents. SCFA is the only accredited center for international Flamenco Examinations in India.
It is believed that Flamenco has its origins in Northern India, and that the gypsy migration behind the tradition can be traced back to Rajasthan. Living between Seville & Mumbai, Cassum’s goal is to spread the art of Flamenco in India and bridge the gap between two rich and umbilically linked cultures
