ABOUT ME

BIOGRAPHY

Zia is an aerialist, pole dancer, choreographer and classically trained dancer based between New York and Las Vegas. Specializing in aerial pole, she's performed with many venues in NYC including The Box, House of Yes, & Schtick a Pole in It, and produces her own show out of Las Vegas at The Copa. Some of her credits include walking en pointe in New York Fashion Week, dancing with Italian rock band Måneskin in MTV's VMAs, and she was featured in NYC billboards as a pole dancing model for a skincare brand's product campaign. Most recently she worked on full length aerial and dance production "Cristal" performed at House of Yes as the choreographer for act 3 and aerialist performer.

​

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.

​

Now residing in NYC, Zia trains and teaches pole dancing classes at Body & Pole a leading studio in aerial and pole education. She is consistently producing and performing new work as a circus and pole dance artist.
