AZIZA currently splits her time between the Pacific Northwest and Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Dancing since the age of three, Aziza has a strong background in classical ballet. After twelve years of ballet study and performance, Aziza began experimenting with other dance forms including African, Modern, Lyrical Jazz, and Tahitian. In 1988 she was introduced to Middle Eastern Dance and found it to be the ideal medium. Since that time, Aziza has devoted her life to learning, performing, and sharing this ancient art form.

Aside from performing, Aziza brings a bounty of experience and many influences to her teaching style. She has grown rapidly in popularity and is in high demand by Promoters all over the World.   Aziza's devotion to the art and every student has made her one of the most sought after teachers of across the globe.  

The fluidity and grace of Aziza's movements teamed with seemingly impossible hip locks, endless shimmies, creative veil work, and a captivating smile have earned her accolades worldwide.   If you ask any student who has studied with her, the answer why is crystal clear:

Thank you so much for letting us join your workshop last week. I had a great time in your class and your performance at the Halloween   party. You are great performer and instructor! I can't find enough words to express my gratitude.
