Silvia Salamanca is a life-long dancer from Mallorca, Spain. 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 spirit (something that she felt truly missing in other dance practices). From her first teachers, Tasnim Melendres and the acclaimed Nur Banu, two natural born-Egyptians, she realized how with the practice of belly dance that women can get closer to their self identity and discover oneself in a new level, increasing self-esteem, releasing stress and getting deeply in touch with the feminine essence in their soul.
With her work in the field of Zambra Mora (spanish gypsy-oriental dance fusion) Silvia has gained international recognition and is currently invited to teach workshops and perform in major festivals across the world, including to judge in the Bellydancer of the World contest in Germany, 2009.
Silvia is also the director of Shunyata Belly Dance, the tribal-style company that captivates audiences at the Texas Renaissance Festival and has recently been awarded in the category of best dance troupe by the Renaissance awards.
Silvia has launched a series of instructional DVDs in the field of Spanish Gypsy, being quite unique in the bellydance world.
