Teaches in: Sonoma County

Aliya fell in love with singing and dancing at the age of three. She knew it’s what she wanted to do for the rest of her life. She has performed at many theater companies throughout Sonoma and Marin and has acted in many short films. She was also a part of a local choir in Petaluma as well as singing at her schools. Her most notable performances include Fiona in Shrek Jr, Katherine in Newsies, Roxie in Chicago and so many more. Off the stage Aliya takes voice lessons and volunteers at a local theater company teaching theater to younger students. Aliya took dance classes at Studio C for many years and in that time was trained in Jazz, Hip-Hop, and Tap.   

Outside of work, you can catch Aliya hiking, baking, swimming, or hanging with her dog, Koe. Aliya is a kind caring soul who adores working with children and helping them reach their full potential in a safe space. She is thrilled to be a part of Art and Soul!
