Silvia Salamanca is an internationally acclaimed performer 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. In her own studio, she continues to observe how women can get closer to their self identity and discover oneself in a new level, increase self-esteem, and gett deeper in touch with the feminine essence in their soul through bellydance.

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 gained international recognition and is currently invited to teach workshops and perform in major festivals world-wide, including being twice a member of the judging panel for the contest of the Bellydancer of the World.
In order to reach as many students as possible, Silvia is proud to present
2 instructional Zambra Mora DVDs.

Silvia is also the director of Shunyata Belly Dance, a nationally awarded tribal fusion company and a proud member of Urban Gypsy, Houston's premiere ATS troupe.

Silvia's activities are based in Houston, and there you can find her performing regularly in a variety of venues, including the House of Blues, and offering regular classes.
