Salsa in Marrakesh | |

This night I made my last, I think, bicycle ride to the centre of Marrakesh just to finally conclude, that:
There is no salsa in Marrakesh. Unfortunately.
The problem is that I used to dance salsa & swing in Saint Petersburg. Of course, I would like to find any dances there, in Marrakesh. What can I say:
- At the moment, there is a dance school hold by the Puerto-Rican, Ricardo, in Es Saadi hotel. I visited that once: 2-3 pairs of dancers with a level something like 'beginner intermediate'.Ricardo teaches the Puerto-Rican kind of salsa (the same or very similar to Salsa Casino). Actually, you can find it nice, it is called 'Quartierlatin Danceacademy Marrakech' in Facebook.
- This school holds Latin parties. Unfortunately, they are quite rare (once per 3 weeks), I have not seen any.
- Daily, Ricardo signs in Africa'n'Chic club with his band (after 10 P.M.). This club is somewhere marked as a place to dance salsa. Nope: nobody dances there, even the band does not play salsa music (at least, I did not hear it today).
- I think, there is the same for the South of Morocco (Marrakesh is very modern city compared to cities of the South Morocco).
P.S. And virtually nothing about swing. :)
