Artist Biography: "Expression of a Nomad Soul"
Natural born artist, Estefanía Royal began her dance training with Ballet and Galician folklore at 4 years old in Spain, her country of origin. Her boundless energy and an insatiable passion for dance in all its forms have led her to explore some very different styles from Hip-Hop to Chinese dance. But undoubtedly, it is in Bellydance where she found the best way to express herself in body and soul.
She has dedicated herself in depth to the study of Middle-Eastern dances and the research of Egyptian culture in particular, its technical and musical repertoire, by herself or from the hand of international masters. So she could deepen and make own the classical Egyptian dance as well as its fusion with other disciplines such as Flamenco, Gypsy, Tribal, Latin, Polynesian, Indian & Afro-Brazilian dances (with a rich experience as dancer and percussionist in Khaleye Diamono Company from Senegal) which contributed to the creation of an eclectic style absolutely unique, fusion of many life experiences, and defines Estefanía in her artistic and personal expression.

Her amazing talent has led her to perform in diverse countries as Spain, Austria, Egypt, France, New Zealand, India and UK as a solo dancer at festivals, collaborations and all kinds of events. At the same time, these voyages gave her the opportunity to learn several languages: English, French, Portuguese, German, Italian and even make her first steps with Arabic that will complement her Master degree in Journalism, Media & Communications.
