Besides my dad (I love you Dad!!!!)...myself, by just being me!
About me: I'm Ami Amoré́ , 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- Ariellah (several times), Kassar, Rachel Brice (a few times), Zoe Jakes (a few times), Kami Liddle, Romka, Onca Leary, Rania, Suhaila (a few times), Yousry Sharif (twice),Dalia Carella, Petite Jamilla, Princess Farhana (twice) 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 Tribal & Fusion style bellydance, fire performing, teaching classes and seminars, making costumes and choreographing. I do solo gigs as Ami Amore and have fun with my students as Exotic Rhythms Bellydance. I started teaching September 2006 and I have been learning so much from teaching! I absolutely love teaching and I love my students!!!
By the way, not only do I teach - I PERFORM FOR MOST EVENTS LARGE OR SMALL: WEDDINGS, NIGHTCLUBS, PRIVATE PARTIES, 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).
our hoop yoga was a one time thing with a hooper from out of town. It was last night. If we do it again, I will let you know. If you know anyone that knows Yoga and want to incorporate hoops... we could work it out
