About Lamia
☽ Embodied Dance Mentor
☽ Founder of D.E.V.I. Method™
I didn’t find dance through performance.
I found it because I was disconnected from my body.
And I needed a way back.
Today, I guide dancers into that same return -
through practice, presence, and embodied technique.
I’m Lamia, Embodied Dance Mentor & Guide
I don’t teach you how to copy movement.
I guide you into your body.
My work lives at the intersection of:
✦ precise technique
✦ embodied awareness
✦ devotion as practice
Where dance is not just something you perform -
but something you inhabit.
I believe the body is not something to control,
but something to listen to.
Dance is not just expression -
it’s a daily practice.
A space where discipline, presence and intuition meet.
And over time, that practice changes you.
Not only as a dancer.
But as a person.

My Story
Dance entered my life when I was 18.
At that time, I felt disconnected from my body,
from my femininity,
from myself.
Bellydance was the first doorway.
Then yoga.
Then Fusion.
Each one awakening something deeper.
I still remember the moment everything shifted.
I saw a dancer moving in a way I had never seen before.
Slow. Serpentine. Fully present.
And something in me knew:
“This is it.”
Even when I was discouraged,
I kept following that feeling.
Then life pushed me further.
An injury.
The loss of my job.
A moment where everything collapsed.
And I made a choice:
To go all in.
I travelled, studied, practiced daily -
learning from teachers across the world,
diving into dance, yoga, and embodied research.
In 2012, Indian classical dance changed everything again.
I studied Bharatanatyam at the Conservatory of Vicenza,
graduating cum laude,
immersing myself in Indian music, philosophy, Sanskrit and sacred movement.
This is where my path truly deepened.
Where technique became discipline.
And practice became devotion.
Since then…
I’ve taught and performed internationally,
guiding dancers across the world.
And in recent years, I’ve brought my work online -
creating D.E.V.I., my signature method and program.
My Approach
I don’t just teach choreography.
I guide dancers into embodied intelligence.
My work is rooted in:
✦ precise, grounded technique
✦ cultural awareness and respect
✦ deep listening to the body
✦ dance as both practice and devotion
Here, movement is not only decoration.
Mudra is not an accessory.
Artistry is not performance - it is presence.
Here, movement is not decoration.
Mudra is not an accessory.
Artistry is not performance.
It is presence.
This work is for you if…
– you feel disconnected from your body
– your practice feels inconsistent or unclear
– you want depth, not just combinations
– you are ready to move beyond “learning”… and start embodying
If you’re here, something in you already knows.
The next step is not doing more.
It’s beginning a real practice.
