“In the performances of Riskallah Riyad,
both solo and with her group, one sees clear and clean the real beauty of the Middle Eastern dance. Her artistic quality is
evident in her dance, costumes and choice of music, and she draws from her dance group the rare and original flavor of the
Middle Eastern dance, which is her heritage. I have great respect and admiration for her work.” (Marta Zorina, NYC)
