After 5 incredible years as a Crazy Girl, Lola Kashmir gave her final show on October 2, before embracing a new adventure abroad. Ready for a new chapter in her life, the dancer and dancer captain from New Zealand shares with us some of her best memories at Crazy Horse Paris…
How can you describe your experience at Crazy Horse Paris?
My 5 years here were “out-of-this-world”! You can’t even put into words this experience or what it is like to express yourself within the Crazy Horse Paris’ environment and stage! It’s a completely different world here: it’s so unique, touching, empowering and powerful! My career shapes the women I am today… and for the rest of my life! As we say, “Once a Crazy Girl, always a Crazy Girl”, and I fully believe that!
What is your best memory here?
There are so many! We had some great times with the Crazy Girls backstage: every night there are funny things happening and I met incredible friends. But probably, one of the best memories is having the opportunity to dance the act “… But I Am a Good Girl”, I will never forget the moment I found out I was on the rehearsal schedule to learn it. It’s my favorite solo and that’s why I wanted to join the cabaret!
What is the main lesson you learnt here as a dancer?
To have fun! When I first arrived, I was very nervous, it is such an iconic company! But I think, you can work hard, strive for the best and still enjoy every moment and put fun in the priority. It is why we dance; it is because we love it!
What are you going to miss the most?
I will miss the fun that we have backstage for sure! But also, working daily with some incredible and inspiring people. But most of all, I will miss dancing my favorite one “… But I Am a Good Girl”!
What are you plans?
To keep being Crazy! I have dreams and goals I want to reach, and how I reach them it is part of the journey. I love the adventure: I would like to continue travelling the world. And I want to spend more time with my family and friends as it’s been a long time away.
To finish, I want to thank everyone, who have been a big part of this amazing journey!
