Silvia's Classes
Biography
Silvia Salamanca is an internationally acclaimed performer, choreographer and instructor from Mallorca, Spain. A life-long dancer, she graduated at the age of nineteen as a major in ballet and performed professionally as a modern dancer in major Europe festivals with the contemporary dance company of the University of Barcelona.
She started her career as a belly dancer in 2001, when realizing the enormous benefits that this art-form brings to women in both body and soul.
As a natural evolution in her journey, Silvia discovered tribal fusion in the USA and combined it with a deep research into her own cultural roots: Spanish gypsy and Arabic. Hence with her work in the field of Zambra Mora (spanish gypsy-oriental dance fusion) Silvia is also known for her work dancing with swords, which she feels depicts the strength of women.

Spanish Fusion fire: an ancient art (Zambra Mora) from the gitanos in Spain
In this workshop, suitable for all levels, we will start breaking down the elements
of the Zambra Mora (Spanish gitano dance). Then we will learn a new routine
designed to dance in couples like the “gitanas” do (in Andalucia-south of Spainwomen dance with each other…and they have fun!) The routine can also be learned to be a beautiful solo.
No need to bring your own partner! Just your fiery spirit and a skirt, and be ready to feel proud, joyful and fiery!! Ole There will be a lecture at the end of the class to explain the history of the gitanos and the art that they created that later on would become flamenco
