Dancers of Morocco 

After a long wait I am just starting to sort through the hundreds of photographs I made during my visit to Morocco this fall. I want to say the Moroccans were the friendliest and politest people I have every met in my world  journeys and you could find better tasting food. The tour group I was with was geared for people who were interested in Belly Dancing and sight seeing Morocco. Our ages ranged from 22 to 72 years old. I will start with the a few of the dancers we met. I am sorry I did not get their names mainly because I could not speak French or Arabic. (oh bother) 
A very sweet dancer she learned that we were American Belly Dancers and did a special encore just for us. This club is in Fez..
Very good dancer at the same club.
My favorite Dancer same club in Fez

Les Palmiers is a nice restaurant apart from the main dinning area of the Sheraton, this was the lovely dancer there. 
Most all the clubs had great Musicians even if there were no dancers. 
Male entertainers walked around the room singing and beating drums.
More male entertainers chanting and dancing.
