About Me

I am a dancer: bellydance and burlesque, a retro pin-up model and overall creative person. I have been in rigorous dance training all my life and love to express myself through sensual movement and costuming of past and present. I put all of my energy into perfecting my crafts of dance and modeling. I do it for the love of it and hope to share it with you one day! Instructor's Bio: Eden Lamour is a uniquely dynamic and exciting performer of today's belly dance and burlesque scenes. She is known for her fusion of retro styling with contemporary artistry planted firmly on a foundation of strong technique. As an instructor she is lovingly referred to as the 'ballerina drill sergeant' due to her enthusiasm for cardio stamina drills. In her classes she provides students the technical tools to unlock their own creativity while giving them a great workout. She can be seen bellydancing on the cable channel FitTV in the "Allstar Workout" fitness series. Eden is a certified Pilates instrutor in the Classical style of Pilates and holds a BA from UCLA in World Arts and Cultures with a dance concentration.

My Interests

Rebembering classic divas of old, while pushing ahead to create new visions.

I'd like to meet:

Other artists and creative people. Basically everyone, because we're all creative people!Tribal Days with Aubre:

Music:

Rock n' Roll, Swing, Rockabilly, dance music, breaks, house and ambient. I also love vintage Arabic Classical music from the 60's and 70's. I love the Strokes, the Killers, Felix da Housecat, Miss Kitten, Goldfrapp, The Horrors, Brian Setzer, Big Sandy, local LA Rockabilly/Psychobilly, honky tonk, country and anything my boyfriend is currently listening to. Too many to list. I am a caffeine addict, so I like my music to be around 140 BPM accordingly!

Movies:

I like movies with fantastic costumes and sets like: Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Showgirls and Moulin Rouge. When it comes to movies, eye candy, or stupid humor, tto me is more important than story line. I like Charlie's Angels and Will Farrell movies. I also love little girl princess movies and, of course, anything with Anne Hathaway. I really have an attention deficit disorder when it comes to movies, so need to do activities simultaneously, such as: dancing, singing, knitting, eating or texting. No boring or sad movies, who wants to be sad?

Television:

I love TV because I only have to pay attention for 30 minutes and get breaks. I like anything with dance: Dancing with the Stars, So you think you can Dance?, Step it up and dance. Search for the Next Pussycat Doll. I love Food Network because all I can usually think about are carbohydrates. Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is my favorite. I love a good burger, fries and beer, but just try to get me to drink cheap champagne! I also love Top Model, What Not to Wear, LA Ink, Miami Ink, the History Channel, and the Sci-Fi channel (thanks to my mom I know WAY too much about Star Trek!).

Books:

Bukowski, Thoreau, Shakespeare, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mark Twain, American colonial history, philosophy, metaphysics, sewing manuals and cookbooks! I enjoy books on tape. These are things that I somewhat recall reading and enjoying once. Really, I read so many books in college I'm still burnt out! Generally I prefer truth over fiction.

Heroes:

Really anyone who follows their dreams and dares to be themselves. All these peole have: Bettie Page, Dita Von Teese, Ann Margaret, Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, Josephine Baker, Martha Graham, Joseph Pilates, Suhaila and Jamila Salimpour. Also, Maki Nomiya (The Japanese Madonna), the Pontani Sisters, Maragaret Cho, Stacey London (What Not to Wear), Christian Louboutin, Coco Chanel and anyone trying to help women find their right bra size. Last but not least, my sister, my boyfriend and my good friends Aubre and Hajjara Habibi.....
