About me
Hey! I'm Lia (or Celia), 33 years old, I live in Eastern Switzerland with my partner and two beloved cats and I'm the heart behind ‘Lia Lumière’. My world revolves around dance, movement and the freedom to express myself authentically. With my workshops, shows and projects, I help people to discover their own sensuality and strength - without compromise, without rules.
Why I do this
I am convinced that everyone has the right to show themselves authentically and to be recognised. In my workshops, spaces are created in which women and female-identified people in particular learn to shed their fear of visibility.
It's not just about movement, but about developing self-confidence and the freedom to be proudly and unmistakably yourself. let's discover your individual expression together.
Dare to Be Seen.
My background
Dance and movement
-
Pole dancing since 2012: My great passion is heels dancing on the pole - a form of expression that combines elegance, sensuality and strength. I have also tried other dance styles such as jazz dance, ballet, urban dance, contemporary and twerk.
-
Aerial Arts: Through Aerial Hoop and Aerial Silks I have deepened my connection to aerial acrobatics and developed a love for aesthetic movements at height.
-
Flexibility training: In 2014, I completed my training as a Professional Flexibility Coach Basic with Frederick van Laak with a diploma.
-
Pole dance competition: My highlight in 2017 was second place at the PSO Europe competition in Zurich in the Exotic Level 3 Junior category.
Modelling and stage presence
-
Modelling since 2009: Over 50 shoots in the alternative sector have not only given me experience in front of the camera, but also a deep understanding of aesthetics and self-expression. I pass on this knowledge in my workshops.
-
Collaboration with Mario Suleri: I was able to model T-shirts and hoodies for the Fashion is Vegan brand - a perfect combination of sustainability and style.
-
Artistic performances:
-
Pole dance in cyborg/wasteland style for a music video by the band ‘Tigershead’ (2017)
-
Pole dance performance at the Valhalla Bar, Basel (2022).
-
Fire show with fire fans at the Unision in Winterthur with the Skullripper Tribe (2024).
-
Engagement and
creative projects
-
Transformation at AeroDance: In 2017, I helped transform the AeroDance studio into an association. As Vice President, I was responsible for everything from accounting to marketing.
-
Greenfield Festival: With the Skullripper Tribe, I was able to be part of the Shelter 666 Wasteland make-up tent in 2022.
What moves me. What I move.
