Meet the owner
Miss Aliayah began dance at age two and instantly fell in love. At age nine she decided that she would one day dance professionally and own her own dance studio. Miss Aliayah was accepted into Old Donation School's gifted and talented program at age ten, and later transitioned into Salem high school's Visual and Performing arts academy. After high school Miss Aliayah was accepted and attended George Mason University's world renown school of dance and later graduated from Old Dominion University with a Bachelors degree in theatre and dance. Miss Aliayah is acrobatic arts cerfitifed and continues to train in dance, tumbling and aerial silks. Miss Aliayah's performance credits include two seasons in Busch Gardens Williamsburg's hit show "Jack is Back", and several other performances. Miss Aliayah officially opened MAD Elite on July 5th, 2023 after recognizing the need for high quality training for dancers of all ages. MAD Elite went from idea to product in under one month! This would not have been possible without our original 5 families who encouraged Miss Aliayah and worked tirelessly to create the studio we have today. MAD Elite is the product of Miss Aliayah's lifelong dream and she cannot wait for you to experience the MAD Elite difference.
