Case Kismat was founded in the summer of 2012 by three students who wanted to express their passion for dance in an all encompassing style: fusion. Shivani Parikh, (CWRU '15), Akash Menon (CWRU '15), and Shriya Kannan (CWRU '15) decided to form this team as an outlet for creative passions and the desire to perform. The blending of various dance styles is a way to bring together different cultures, and to unite students who are passionate about dance and want to share their passions with others. Fusion is an all encompassing dance style. Of the many dance styles in this world, each has it's own distinct songs and movements. Fusion aims to incorporates elements from these styles and blend them seamlessly to create something new, something different. Case Kismat aims to bring this unique style to the Case Western Reserve University campus. Kismat aims to promote global diversity and show that cultures can meld together through dance. By performing at various campus events, Case Kismat spreads cultural knowledge not only here in Cleveland but also at competitions across the nation
