Walky Ardaat

Walky Ardaat is a passionate dancer, producer, and cultural advocate with over 15 years of experience in the international Tribal Bellydance community. Her journey began in 2006, and she quickly found her artistic home in Tribal Style — a dance form that celebrates strength, connection, and shared expression. As part of the Global Caravan Dance Company, Walky has trained under founder Paulette Rees-Denis and earned numerous certifications that reflect her commitment to excellence and community-based dance. She has taught and performed across Mexico and the U.S., including at Migrations in Austin, Rakassah West in San Francisco, and ATS Reunion in Phoenix.

Walky teaches Global Caravan Tribal Bellydance®, a grounded and improvisational group dance form rooted in feminine energy, global rhythms, and deep connection between dancers. Drawing from Middle Eastern, North African, Indian, and Spanish influences, this style emphasizes posture, presence, and synchronized group movement without choreography. It’s a form of moving meditation — a practice of listening, responding, and flowing together as one. Walky brings warmth, clarity, and a strong sense of lineage to her teaching, creating an inclusive space where every dancer feels seen, supported, and dancing not just as individuals, but as one tribe.
