Born and raised in Vegas, Zia grew up training in classical ballet with Nevada Ballet Theater from the age of 4. Her dedication to dance continued when she studied at Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, and later at Point Park University where she received her Bachelor of the Arts in both dance and humanistic psychology.
Zia's 20+ years of dance training combines with her strength on aerial and pole to produce fluid movements, long and effortless lines, and creative sequences in her acts and performances.
