Aly will be enhancing her dance career by moving to Manhattan to attend The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA), as a Dance Theater major.

Leilani’s love for the performing arts began as soon as she could walk, stepping into her first ballet and tap classes at just four years old. Since then, she has grown into a dynamic and versatile performer, training extensively in Jazz, Contemporary, Hip-Hop, Tap, Ballet and Musical Theater. By age seven, Leilani was already competing as a soloist on the competitive dance circuit.

Her passion for growth has taken her to renowned dance conventions, where she’s trained with industry icons like Ray Leeper, Travis Wall, Alex Wong, Autumn Miller, and Lane Napper. She has also received one-on-one mentorship from elite professionals Hannah Douglass and Brittany Parks.

In addition to dance, Leilani has starred in several musical theater productions and was honored with the role of Dance Captain for Mean Girls: The Musical just before her senior year.
