Kavi is an accomplished dancer with interstate and international experience.

For 10 years Kavi trained, instructed, choreographed, and administered dancing in her home town of Colombo, Sri Lanka. In 2018, Kavi moved to Australia, where she continued to dance and instruct while studying in Melbourne. In 2020, Kavi moved to Hobart to study at the University of Tasmania, where she quickly joined the executive members of the University of Tasmania Salsa Dance Society (USDS). In 2021, Kavi officially joined Long-Steps as an instructor, and is eager to develop the Urban Latino scene within the studio.

Trained as a Salsa and Bachata instructor, and with multiple IDTA awards under her belt, Kavi has an infectious enthusiasm for dancing and the variety of health benefits it can have. While trained in Modern Ballroom and Latin American, with significant competitive experience, Kavi has come to enjoy the free nature of the Urban Latino styles and the fusion and fitness opportunities that come along with them.

Outside of dancing Kavi holds a black belt in karate, and is an avid student.
