We had the good fortune of connecting with Aria Miraj and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aria, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my success and the Sucess of Aria Miraj Ent. Is the huge support I get from my family and my friends, but it’s also the fan base and the following I’m starting to crest which is the main key. Without fans and without haters I feel like there no motivation to try something new!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I came in to belly dancing at a very early age. I started to really get into it around the age of 12. I used to put on shoes for friends parties, and have even gotten to perform for the Orlando Fringe Festival and I’m the Moroccan Pavilion at the Epcot Center World Showcase Lagoon at Walt Disney World. I started with Cabaret style belly dancing, continued to learn from watching the Belly Dance SuperStars and Belly Dance Evolution videos on YouTube. To taking American Tribal Style(ATS) belly dancing classes in Orlando with Lacey Sanchez, while being inspired by belly dance idols and legends like Rachel Brice and Sharon Kihara! Dancing has always be easy for me so this took off like a spark to a flame, this among many other fun opportunities are what helped get me to where I am today! I’ve learned with being an entertainer to always be positive, spread love and always appreciate and thank anyone and everyone who support you.

Me and my brand are about love energy positivity inclusiveness and overall fun in any setting. My belly dancing brings a light and energy to a room and crowed over never seen before and it always brings me a smile to be able to share my Moroccan and Arabic culture with others!
