“Riskallah Riyad is a performer and instructor of unparalleled originality.
Her love of dance and unlimited vitality show in both the classroom (where she excels at inspiring students to achieve new heights) and in each and every performance. Her artistry with the veil is breathtaking. The veil dances as an extension of her spirit, and wraps her in a magical aura that is mesmerizing to behold.”

Come share the passion for this beautiful dance, so ancient and timeless, yet ever new. Oriental Dance gives expression to all aspects of human experience, illuminating the ordinary and transporting it to new realms. It is my desire to share with you my joy and to pass on the knowledge, the love and the respect I have for this dance, all of which began in the Middle Eastern roots of my childhood.

In this beautiful dance, the body caresses the soul and each is elevated by the other.
