Odalisque

This is the show!!! So beautifully choreographed! Thursday nights are amazing!!! Do not miss this incredible show. I have never seen such an incredible ensemble of music and dancing. What an amazing night we had all had at El Cid!!!

Great show! You get to eat at your table while they perform and they are really good. I didn’t know that dancing could be exciting, but they put on a show that was. The dancers even came down and danced around us and everyone else. They were all hot too! It was a fun time, I would recommend.

Magic! I was so entertained! I thought I had seen it all in my travels and experience! This show had the most beautiful costumes I have ever seen. The dancers are so talented. The show was action packed with many different styles of dance. It was a whirlwind adventure around the world! I was amazed. I especially liked a dance done with two sticks that were simultaneously twirled. Incredible show! I cannot recommend it enough!!!

Great show !!! Its almost like a dance tour … Well worth the money … The venue is great too !!!

Performance was excellent! Shows dancers were really dedicated. Great job ladies! I’d be happy to see another performance from this group.

Amazing!!! It was an incredible evening that was eye catching from start to finish. I highly recommend! The performers are so skilled and charismatic, that it leaves you completely captivated.
Do yourself a favor and see it.

Baheyya El-​Ghazal and the Luxora Dance Co. are a revelation! I caught a show at the El Cid on a Thursday night and was completely blown away! These dancers are the real deal! These women are masters of their art and on stage, they explode with charisma and beauty. They have an interesting repertoire too, drawing from many different dance styles and bygone eras of burlesque. The whole show is completely enchanting, full of feathers, glitter, and veils! It is sexy, but never lude. It is gorgeous, but not baroque. The only other live belly dancing I have seen was weighed down by dark colors and heavy feet. This show is vivacious color and graceful movement. What makes it interesting too is the various types of performers in the company. Each woman has her own look and her own personality shining through. I was so happy to have seen something this vibrant in person. This has got to be some of the best dance performance of its kind in Los Angeles. CHECK them out!

Sometimes belly dance shows can be tedious or amateur, but Odalisque blows that stereotype out of the water. The belly dance is the best you’re going to see outside of the Middle East. Plus there’s so much more. A unique, fast paced variety show. The women are all stunning in their own ways. Not a bunch of Barbie Dolls on stage, just strong dancers. The food was great, the ambience charming & a great, inexpensive night out for the great value you receive. I highly recommend!
