Yasmin

Yasmin grew up in the Washington, D.C. area but quickly moved to Europe after 
graduating from college. She first appeared in a small cabaret on the left bank of 
Paris called Al Djazair, but soon moved on to the "big time" across the river on 
the Champs Elysees. There she starred as the featured dancer in two famous clubs, 
Le Beirut and Le Yildizlar where she worked with some of the most well-known Arabic 
stars and musicians of the time. Sabah, Walid Toufiq, Ahmed Adawia, Mohammad El 
Aizabi and Hassan Abou Saud were regular attractions.  After several seasons in 
France, Yasmin moved to London to work at The Omar Khayyam, the renowned club of 
Mona Said. But the draw to work in Egypt was too great and she moved to Cairo after 
a year to follow her dream. She appeared for two years at The Auberge on the Sharia 
al Haram and at the Holiday Inn.  Yasmin moved back to the Washington, DC area in 
the early 1990's. She danced regularly at the Casablanca Restaurant in Alexandria, 
VA until 2001. She now teaches professional level classes for aspiring dancers.
