Aliyah teaches belly dance at the Green Street Fitness Center, and performs in the Champaign-Urbana area, including a regular spot at Cafe Hookah. She is known for her Shamadon (candelabra) dance, and flawless zill work. Although she just began teaching, Aliyah brings five years of experience as a performer to the job. She has extensive knowledge about the history and culture of the dance, and is working hard to learn Arabic. As recent transplant to our fair city from California, Aliyah is familiar with the workings of a very active and organized belly dance community. We are very fortunate to have her energy, dedication, and professionalism as a part of our BDA team
