Miriam Gala
I'm a dancer since... (I do not remember), I am being ... (do not know), I do know is that my body and my soul was filled with salty sea water that runs increasingly inches of me when I get what I want, my art. Well, I am also a professional Oriental Dance and Flamenco-fusion (fusion with what I want) and dancer and assistant director of the company Fenicia, Cristiane Azem.

Career

TRAINING
My "adventures" start very early, so I do not remember. What I remember is a childhood between rooms with mirrors, Flamenco, Ballet and Jazz and scores for music lessons.

In 1996, at age 14, motivated by vocation, I decided to start my career path in the Dance School of Dance Triana, one of the most prestigious in the south of Madrid, devoting all my time outside of school learning and development of Flamenco, Spanish Dance, Spanish Folk, Ballet, and Jazz Bolero School.
Shortly thereafter, he was in front of a tribunal, from undergraduate through Spanish Dance.

At 17, my life as a college student leads me to Guadalajara, where I know Virginia Recio, who continued to deepen my studies in this field.
Meanwhile, a new discipline discover little known in Spain, Oriental Dance. Andrea "Shasekh" me into an exotic world offers new ways that I never explored a deep motivation emerging knowledge of more technical and expressive possibilities.

In 2000, 20 years since my return to Madrid, I decided to move forward towards the professionalization of my studies, I joined the school Marta de la Vega, working with a wide range of great masters such as Beatriz Barcelo, La Popi, Silvia Miras, Pilar Azorín ...
In this school, I have the honor of conducting workshops for Dance Performance, Dance and Psychology to research new ways, with teachers from the likes of Antonio el Pipa, Antonio Najarro, Oscar Jimenez, etc, exposing more dimensions of dancer.

In this context I choose to also look for other bellydance teachers to expand my training and I find my Master, Cristiane Azem. Here the course of my career will be a turning point. Its particular method of teaching and his generosity will make my dancing becomes, the expression emerging as the main objective of the movement, based on the technique, in the early years, in a more purist style of Oriental dance, to later incorporate my training and give way to new disciplines that complement the dancer, as "medium" art.
My training with it happens to be that of a mere interpreter of dance, the development of a complete artistic consciousness, passing through the appreciation and pursuit of the artistic, technical training, understanding of the expressive channels, development of educational aspects, interpretive, research and organization, production and artistic direction, derived from work as a dancer, teacher and assistant director in his company, Phoenicia and the Core Production.
Also of intense work in their shows is derived specialization in gypsy dances from around the world and a major in Turkish style belly dance, folk dances of Turkey and Roman Gypsy with Turkish teachers, both in Istanbul and Madrid.

My concern has led me, over my life, experimenting with many dance masters such as Juan Carlos Santamaría, Carlos Rodriguez, Shlomi Bitton, Elena Ferrari, Anasma, Marta Shinco, Sonia Sampayo, Sanpapie company, Lena Beauty, Banafsheh Sayyad, Amir Thaleb, Myriam Soler, Monica Rivas, Beatriz Martín, Begoña Castro, Nigma, Merche Esmeralda ... and many others whom I thank for his bit and I can not make the list referred to by endless diferntes through disciplines and accessories related to dance as music, percussion and bodypercussion, body expression, physical theater, creativity, contemporary dance, wu shu, Pilates, African, yoga, money Sufi, tribal style, burlesque, hip hop ...

Currently, I'm forming with Cristiane Azem in Oriental dance and new forms of artistic expression through movement, I am experimenting with new teachers that I admire some unexplored corners, and still forming in flamenco Flamenco Arts Center Love of God, the Felisa Cruz, who along with Cristiane, are doing my flamenco racial and full of possibilities.


WORK EXPERIENCE
Teaching.
My working life in the Dance begins as myself I started teaching in schools, conveying love and respect for the dance to the feed in the future.

Soon, I offer classes for adults, both Flamenco and bellydance, where I can test and develop my knowledge and teaching skills. The experience was so enriching the list where I taught on a regular basis over 10 years is more or less like this: Iliberis Dance School, Dance Studio Virginia Recio, Griñón Women's Association, Cultural Association of RENFE, Orthos, Oriental Dance Association al-Firdaus, multicultural roots of the World Space Center for Rakatum Productions (Cristiane Azem School) ...

Dancer.
I have also about 10 years as a professional dancer, performing solo performances at various theaters, restaurants, theaters, cafes ... Teatro Nuria Espert, Galileo Galilei Hall, Room Garibaldi, Cappadocia Turkish Restaurant, Restaurant Medieval La Rioja, Restaurant Roots World, Tea Tigris restaurant, Restaurant Arab Princess, Restaurant Arab Caliph, Tea Albaicin, Casa Lit, Restaurant Medina Mayrit, several Madrid Tennis Masters on the terrace Chill Out Griñón summers ... and various cultural events for different municipalities ...
And in groups, festivals, and the Society of Young Marta de la Vega.
 
But one fact stands out my career as a stage dancer is part of Fenicia, Cristiane Azem company. Present since its formation, participated actively in all their shows, as DROM, Mediterranean, Nassan Alayna, Aroma Oriental, Galata ... and all representations, both in season on tour, always with a good reception from critics and with full Total in many of their functions.
Thanks to the support and Cristiane Azem projects in Turkey have participated in a show as a dancer of great percusinista Misirli Ahmet and his students (including cusionista of Mercan Dede), and participated in the choreography as a teacher, assistant choreographer and dancer, Istanbul's Blue Night advertising project.

I have also worked as a dancer  at the musical project Rasa, where borders are blurred by compositions with influences of Jazz, Flamenco and Indian music.

Research and creation.
Even before the start with teaching beginning to develop my choreographic aspect. With my own students and in my own shows I develop my skills. Cristiane who will continue to mature with this issue at the highest level, who puts his trust in me and invited me to choreograph some pieces of his shows on the bill, both of Fenicia and its Core Production.

The daily work in classes and shows, along with creation, with Myriam Soler, a complete work, Fusionan2 have contributed to my search for a personal language. That is why I am currently developing a unique concept, solid, consistent, Flamenco Fusion and I've even come to develop a new discipline for organizing my experience with the dance to which I have named Free Dance where the dancer optimizes its resources and offers artistic and expressive demand, without disciplinary hermeticism.

Organization and management.
From early in my teaching I have organized and directed numerous shows and festivals of students, seeking motivation in both the performers and the public.

In 2009 direct my own show Fusionan2 and Cristiane Azem that year gives me the assistance of both FENICIA address, your company, as the Galata Production Core (shown in the theaters of Madrid) and Zyryab, where I learn of development first hand every day to this, the ability to manage a group of artists with a common goal.
