 The "flying carpet" stage, in Marrakesh's main dining room. |
I started working at the
Marrakesh in 1992, and for the next
two years I danced there four nights a week. From '94 to '99 I did Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays...but in 1999 I decided to freelance on Saturdays so danced there Thursdays & Fridays until 2003, when I began to start teaching in Fredericksburg on Thursdays. After four years of dancing for Friday's late show, my show is closing in July 2007. Of all the places I've worked
it's been my favorite because not only do they produce the show
reliably
well,
but the staff & owners have always been exceedingly warm &
gracious
to me. Marrakesh continues to be the premier spot for Oriental
Dance in D.C. |

...mid-'90's - Upstairs at the Marrakesh. (The upstairs section has been closed for several years.) |
| A beautifully-decorated club called the "Kaslik" is in a separate section toward the back of the Marrakesh, with a bar & dance floor. It's often used for large parties & events or just when extra room is needed. Thanks to all my friends &
students who've come to see my show over the years! |
