Riskallah Riyad’s Teacher Training Course -- January 20-22, 2023
"Riskallah’s expert knowledge and passion for the dance was evident
in her enthusiasm throughout the entire course. She provided varied and creative learning aids, enabling me to explore my
skills of perception, observation, and mindful communication. I was challenged to look deeply, and inspired to flourish. This
course has provided invaluable content should I ever decide to teach. In the meantime, it has empowered me to be a better
student".

Riskallah Riyad’s Teacher Training Course -- January 20-22, 2023 "I recently had the privilege to be a participant in the Teacher Training course
with Riskallah Riyad. It was an amazing experience. Riskallah taught us not just how to teach the components of the dances,
Raqs Sharqi, but also how to teach in a supportive and welcoming environment while being mindful of the individual students
and their needs within the class. After a performance, I once heard Riskallah say, “I just want to inspire others”.
She has and continues to inspire me"!

"You managed to deliver process, content, philosophy,
pedagogy and the soul and artistry of dance in the course. I was truly amazed and inspired. I also appreciate how
empowering you were to us as individuals and how you were able to make such graceful corrections without criticism. The
dinner (Saturday night) was a special treat, and fortified the sense of community you had already developed in the course." ~Sharon Stahl, VT
"And I want to thank you, thank you thank you. The Teacher Intensive has turned my method of teaching inside
out, and after all these years I’m looking at my classroom experience with a new, fresh set of eyes. What a gift...I
feel the same excitement and curiosity I did as a new teacher! I’ve attended master classes since I was a young student,
but this seminar was truly unique and enlightening. I had expected you to be well prepared, because you always are.
What surprised and blew me away was the open and heartfelt exchanges and sharing amongst the rest of us. Wow! So
much great information and food for thought that I haven’t digested it all yet."
~Kanina, RI "Life has many gifts and YOU are one
of them!!!" ~Elizabeth Nett, MA "Taking the workshop made me feel more
confident and I cant wait for the next one". ~Marilia Chagan
