In 1999 she co-found Exotic Dance Central the company and school for professional exotic dancers. Being aware of the pros and cons that went along with being in the adult entertainment industry her years of experience and observation noted that entertainers would be able to perform better and have a more versatile dance style with professional dance training. Alieesah began to use her professional dance/choreography background to formulate exotic dance and pole dancing classes for beginners, intermediate and advanced dancers. She did this by combining modern/jazz, hip hop, latin, belly dance, burlesque, pole dancing  and her experience as an exotic dancer to create  well structured classes. Her classes proved to be a success and played a major role in our dancers continued success and the growth of the company's services that is now available to women of  the general public for their personal or professional  growth.
