Aliya - Bellydanceperformances
references

During the years a dancer develops an own dancing style. Aliyas style stands out being fresh and powerful. It is a mixture of soft elegance and powerful down-to-earth performance.

Aside from the very individual interpretation of classic oriental pieces, modern oriental pop- and folkmusic, she always likes to try out non-oriental music what gives her performances a very own note.
Aliya is known for her precise and distinct dancing technique and her vivid expression.
