In her free time Ali is always looking for master classes to participate in. She has taken classes with Ebony Williams of Cedar Lake and Beyonce Dance, Tara Keating of BalletX, various classes at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Broadway Dance Center, and Project Moshen. Ali also took yearly classes with Janine Beckles of Philadanco Dance Company, Steven Vaughn of Parsons Dance Company, and an African dance class at Penn State taught by Kikora Franklin.
