Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The Riskallah Riyad Dance Theatre Company was established in 2003 with a mission to bring Middle Eastern music, dance and culture to a broad audience. Their repertoire includes folk and classical Oriental styles, as well as contemporary fusion, created by Artistic Director and Choreographer Dolores Matzen, known professionally as Riskallah Riyad. Hailed by Middle Eastern Dance New England as "enthralling...high caliber...well-crafted theatre," the company is widely considered Connecticut's premiere belly dance ensemble. They had the honor of performing recently for, and garnering the attention of, the legendary Egyptian choreographer Mahmoud Reda, known for his precision and high standards both on stage and in the studio. Among other theater venues, RDDTC has performed on numerous occasions at the Charles Ives Concert Hall and the stages of Western Connecticut State University in Danbury, CT. In keeping with its educational agenda, the troupe has regular engagements at public schools, libraries, and ethnic festivals throughout the state. The Riskallah Riyad Dance Theatre Company has also danced at the invitations of Aziza Productions on Cape Cod in Dennis, MA, and the celebrated Beach Blanket Beledi in Nags Head NC, presenting at the latter twice by popular demand.
