Besides my dad (I love you Dad!!!!)...myself, by just being me!
About me: My name's Ami, I've been bellydancing since 1999. I enjoy all styles of this art form from traditional to the avant garde. I trained for 6.5 years with Aalim dance under the direction of Salwa and Serena, I studied Suhaila Salimpour Technique as well as other techiniques. I enjoy the Suhaila style, but felt a yearning to go and explore all the forms bellydance has to offer in our country. I have taken lots of seminars- Kami Liddle, Cassandra, Rania, Suhaila (a few times), Yousry Sharif (twice), Ariella, Rachel Brice, Zoe Jakes, Dalia Carella, Petite Jamilla, Princess Farhana, Kalinka among others. I had the pleasure of being part of chuvani Bellydance for over two years until I decided to do my own thing. Right now, I am really into Dark Tribal Fusion style bellydance, fire performing, teaching classes and seminars, making costumes and choreographing. I do solo gigs and have fun with Bellydance United (BDU), Chuvani and Amazonia bellydance. I started teaching September 2006 and I have been learning so much from teaching! I absolutely love teaching and I love my students!!!
class times are currently:
OPEN LEVEL BELLYDANCE Fridays, 6:15 - 7:15 p.m.
AND INTERMEDIATE FOCUS CLASS on TUESDAYS 6:15 - 7:15PM, both classes at Utopia Studios, 3957 Park Ave.

By the way, not only do I teach - I PERFORM FOR MOST EVENTS LARGE OR SMALL: WEDDINGS, NIGHTCLUBS, PRIVATE PARTIES, FAIRES AND FESTIVALS, LADIES NIGHT OUT, WEDDING SHOWERS, ETC... contact me for pricing.

Who I'd like to meet: EVERYONE. Peers http://www.stlouisbellydancers.com/, students, friends who share the same passion for dance, music and art I do! oh and I'd like to meet Henry Rollins, Homer Simpson, Felix the Cat, the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter (I'm thinking tea with them and the queen of hearts would be interesting).
Vegas was so fun!! But I am glad to be home. Since I am work, obviously I did not hit it big, but I think I only lost $10 to the slots. I love staying in hotels, but it freaks me out to stay in beds that who knows have slept in. I saw Criss Angel, he is a dick, just like I origianlly thought. We saw a topless review, Crazyhorse, and it was amazing! I was really ready to come home and sleep in my own bed. Besides, it would be nice to cook or pay for take out and it not cost 15 bucks a plate.
ps we went to frederick's Of Hollywood and they have some really cute corset for $40-$60...There is a red polka dotted one and a purple one that I am in love with.
I KNOW!! Too much fun! Hopefully we'll get hired the next time they get married too!! *haha* j/k! (Best wishes to the newly-weds!) Miss you girl! >>>hugs<<<

Yep, I shall be there. I should be there on Fri too, but next Tue I shall be in Sin City!!! I am sure that they will ask you to dance again, I am sure that you were great as always!! My piercing is doing fine. Been soaking it a lot and I jogged yesterday and I was fine, just had to put on the sports bra. I will live and it ws worth it!!
