Aliyah's classes make me feel like a true dancer! I have never had a dance class in my life until these classes. I've always wanted to take some beginner lessons but even the videos of the lessons always intimidated me. You will not feel this way with Aliyah. She ensures that everyone is welcome and belongs with her level of modification and thorough explanations of everything. I felt comfortable and talented! I would recomend these classes to anyone looking for a fun, welcoming, and overall amazing experience! - Frequent dance class attendee
Aliyah is an amazing dance teacher and choreographer! I believe anyone who wants to have a fun dance experience and learn about musical theatre would love Aliyah's classes as her focus is to have fun and make everyone feel comfortable. As someone who danced for years, the way Aliyah teaches accomodates everyone, from people who have never danced to people who have danced their entire lives, and makes sure everyone understands the steps. Her dance classes are always filled with high energy, fun and she is incredibly supportive, and it's a fufilling 2 hours of your life - Frequent dance class attendee
