~Interview with Ariellah - January 2008: Shimmy Cast
~ "Ariellah Aflalo is one of the hardest working Belly Dancers in the business, and it shows in her technique, costuming, emotion, and refined taste in music and movement choice. She adds her own deliciously dark touch to the dance, and is an absolute pleasure to watch." -Rachel Brice, The Indigo
~ "Ariellah is an accomplished tribal fusion and techno-fusion artist, executing amazing pops, locks, and ultra-tight isolations within intricate Tribal-style work." -Neon, The Hip Circle
~ "...What's more, her dance was not only arresting, but also fluidly interchanging with the many different layers of sonic poetry she selected." -Guilded Serpent, Surreya
~ "Although Raqs Gothique is still the topic of heated debate on forums across the Internet, Ariellah Aflalo is most certainly one of the genres defining icons. " -Mistress McCutchan, Morbid Outlook
~ "Ariellah is both a skilled performer, casting a web of intrigue over her audience; as well as a skilled instructor. She understands how to keep a dancer safe while teaching them new movements, and she can easily communicate to the students how to break down moves so they are easily digested by the dancers she is working with - even those new to the dance. Not every beautiful performer is a good teacher, and because of Ariellah's extensive dance experience, she is able to do both with ease. She is able to keep the student engaged even when they are tired from drilling. And her gentle personality and intelligent mind make for delightful conversations. Thank you for a wonderful workshop, and a beautiful performance." -Tori King, Director of Daughters of Durga, Daughters of Durga
