Arabian Nights Oasis

2000  Started taking classes in Lancaster

Continued to take from several local teachers, Litani, Elisheba, Jaheela and Jazana are all excellent!  Also workshops and classes in Pa, Md, NJ and Maui.

2004  Opened Arabian Nights Oasis 

While wearing harem pants to class, several students approached me and asked where I got them.  Also when performing,  others noticed the gorgeous skirts and veils I wore.  After numerous questions and requests for various costume items; I recognized the need for local talent to design, sew and sell belly dance items.  I expanded my small lingerie business to include a division of Belly Dance Apparel.

Sewing has always been one of my favorite things to do.  Spending many hours with my Mother creating my prom gowns, my bridesmaids dresses and more.  When my Mom died Dec, 1998 I stopped sewing for several years  Dancing has brought that joy back to me.

I dedicate my sewing ability to my Mother - Ruth! 

My sales experience dates back to 1972, working in a retail store.  Self employed selling since 1989.

September 4, 2011 Opened shop & studio at Saturday's Market, Middletown, PA

Rasheika, owner and seamstress retired from teaching fall of 2010.  

Devoting her time to creating and sewing gorgeous items for her shop. 

She is available for private parties, belly grams, nursing homes, weddings and more.  Contact her for performance and class schedules at Rasheika2003@aol.com.

Rasheika's Arabian Treasures were a local dance troupe who had performed at various venues.   

After their first performance in the Lancaster area, Rasheika's students requested to form a troupe.  

Many thanks to ALL the students, I have been blessed to dance with!
