Aleya is a bellydancer who resides and performs in Los Angeles, CA.
Aleya began studying Middle Eastern Dance (belly dance) in 1995 while living in New York. Her first two instructors were Bobby Farrah and Yousry Sharif. She had the privilege and good fortune to begin with masters of the art. From them she gathered a respect for keeping the art technically Egyptian while adding boldness, and fire to the dance.
 In 1997 Aleya returned to Los Angeles and continued studying belly dance with as many instructors as she could find in Los Angeles. She travels yearly to Egypt to study her craft and also has taken numerous workshops with the likes of Egytptian belly dance masters Ragia Hassan, Mona Said, Aida Noor, Mahmoud Reda of the infamous Reda Troupe, Nagwa Fouad and Friez.
In 1998 Aleya was the winner of the People's Choice Award in the annual Bellydancer of the Universe Competition (Egyptian Category) in Long Beach, CA. She has also won titles in 2007 Bellydance of the Universe Competition and Miles Copeland’s Bellydance Star Search. She has performed in major theatres and concert halls including the Coliseum, the Greek Theatre with Alabina, the Ford Amphitheatre and the Henry Fonda Music Box Theatre, the Alex Theatre in Glendale and the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert as well as the Levitt Pavillion in Pasadena.
 She has also performed in all of the top Middle Eastern nightclubs in Southern California and was the featured dancer of Luxor nightclub (Orange County) for two years. Her appearances have also included Hollywood wrap parties, music videos, the morning news (Fox's Good Day LA) , movie trailers, The Magic Carpet (cable) and the UPN sitcom The Parkers. She has also performed internationally in Egypt and Lebanon.
In 2003 Aleya formed Negma Dance Co., for which she is principle director and choreographer. Focusing on bellydance (veil, saidi, egyptian pop, sword) the show is entertaining and exciting. You can hire Aleya for entertainment as a soloist or hire her dance company to perform at your event .
