LaRa Working on the conjoining of my partnership with Andrea ... our Danse "Beaut� D�rang�e - Wayward Bellydance" & Design "Pretty Macabre" Posted at 11:39 PM Dec 4, 2009 view more
LaRa first became entranced by the art of Belly Dance while watching, some original members of, Urban Tribal Dance Company at the Southern California Renaissance Faire. Years later, at the age of eighteen (1999), she found Cabaret Style classes by such well known instructors as Catharae, Amara, & Shahira.
In 2003, she sought out Tribal style classes and, shortly thereafter, found Rachel Lazarus Soto of Devadasi-World Fusion Dance (a Tribal Fusion dance troupe). After a few months of studying exclusively with Rachel, she was invited to become a member of Devadasi. One of her final performances with Devadasi, “Asian Magic,” is to be remembered forever on the first ever, Tribal Fusion performance DVD called “Evolution.”
Outside projects and instruction, by Sabrina Fox, later lead her to realize her dream of becoming a core member of Atash Maya Dance Company (a Tribal Fusion & Fire Performance dance troupe), based in San Diego, California.
.After a few years, LaRa relocated to Salt Lake City, Utah where she continued to dance and teach, as both a Soloist and, as the Director of Barefoot BellyDance, Utah’s first Tribal Style and Fire Fusion Dance Company.
A year and half later LaRa met her true Creative twin, Andrea. A few short months later, LaRa and Andrea formed their own Partnership and Danse Asylum with the creation of “Beauté Dérangée - Wayward Bellydance.” Within this new venture, she continues her exploration of ATS, Tribal Fusion, Fire Performance, Experimental Theatrics, as well as personal expression.
In addition to that, LaRa has enjoyed creating her own unique clothes and costuming since middle school, and is currently attending Fashion Design School. Her unique flare for Fashion and Design led her to also partner with Andrea under Andrea’s long established design label “Pretty Macabre.”
Futhermore, LaRa has been Teacher Certified in ATS (American Tribal Style) by Carolena Nericcio of Fat Chance Belly Dance & has been teaching ATS & Tribal Fusion, since 2004, in the form of classes, private lessons & workshops Nationwide. LaRa is also known for her knowledge of Anatomy/Physiology, particularly Structural Kinesiology, to enhance her instruction and limit injury due to her background as a Holistic Health Practitioner & Massage Therapy Instructor.
