Recently, Aleya decided to live in Egypt. She is pursuing her dream of working as a professional belly dancer, while at the same time immersing herself in the language and culture of Egypt. Cairo suits Aleya well because of her exotic Middle Eastern looks, as well as her Egyptian style of belly dance. She is frequently mistaken for Egyptian, especially when she performs belly dance. Her style of belly dance is delightful, entertaining and energetic, which is why she is always in demand. Previously, Aleya traveled annually to Egypt to study with the masters of belly dance such as, Raqia Hassan, Mahmoud Reda, Aida Noor, Mohamed Kazafy, Farouk Mustafa, Friez, Mona Said, Randa Kamal , Soraya , Dina and many other instructors. She also attends many shows from which she derives inspiration for her performance and costumes.
In October 2003, Aleya established Negma Dance Company, of which she is the principle director and choreographer. Based in Los Angeles, California, her dance company specializes in belly dance (veil, Saidi, Egyptian pop and sword). Her show has been called “authentic and highly entertaining!”
“Aleya brought genuine magic to the showpiece”. – Lewis Segal, dance critic for the Los Angeles Times
