My stage name is – Aliyah Layla (Aliyah meaning: Exaulted; Layla meaning: night)
Due to my passion for the Dance of the Middle East ~ Belly Dance Goddess was opened in 2004 to enlighten people, empower woman to express and find themselves, feel feminine and womanly and what better way to do that than through dancing.
I love the way my confidence has soared, the way I feel when I am dancing, the way I can express myself through the dancing. My passion for this dance has just grown.
Knowledge on the Middle Eastern Art form in crucial, therefore I have attended various workshops with local teachers (Catherine Ma, Soma, Ajsa Samia, Candida) and international teachers (Liza Laziza, Mahmoud Reda, Medhat Fahmy, Aida Nour, Gaby Sheba, Rania, Tamalyn Dallal and then Add Sharon Kihara.) and I did my teachers level 1 and 2 training with HADIA. It has been a luxury and privilege to be able to learn from great teachers, and now I myself share this knowledge to those who would like to learn this art form. A good teacher never stops learning.
I head up the Belly Dance Goddess dance troupe. Our dance style in feminine and graceful, awe inspiring to watch. My fantastic dance troupe and I are proficient in Egyptian Style Bellydance (modern and traditional), Tribal style bellydance exhilarating drumming sequences, exuberant Shamadaan, Fire dancing and tray balancing with candles, sword performances, sagat and cane dances, veil sequences, tambourine and fan dances and of course mesmerising Wings of Isis.
I have also performed for a Saudi Sheik, which was one of the highlights of my career. We have have performed all around South Africa for various functions, Botswana, Zambia and the Seychelles.
