about
jashn [dʒəʃn] – happiness; celebration
(from Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi)
Hi there! My name is Nagma and I’ve been dancing and choreographing for as long as I can remember.
I’m known for my Bollywood routines, and I draw influence from a bit of kathak, bhangra, giddha, kuthu, garba, hip hop, swing, afro, jazz, bellydance, and salsa. (I’m also known for being photographed mid-dance with a ridiculous expression on my face… but that’s beside the point.)
I’ve made routines for and performed at countless events, dance competitions, and weddings, and every time I’ve seen joy in the eyes of my audiences and dancers. That’s why I started Jashn Dance Works — to bring that joy to your celebration, whatever it may be.
So gather your friends, your family, your aunties and uncles, or whoever you want to perform — dance experience not required. I’ll take care of the rest!
