Donna Gardner - A lifelong dancer, Donna has received guidance and training in ATS and fusion with Wendy Marlatt, training in the FatChance Repertoire with Carolena Nericcio and Wendy. She performs and teaches throughout the UK and Europe, teaching the first ever ATS workshop in Madrid and has taught at JOY, Tribalondon and Tribal Ford.

Pedralta collaborated with Hossam & Serena Ramzy, on two London shows. Donna directed and produced the show Tarab in Birmingham. Highlights from Tarab and another Dublin show appear on the DVD Magic Caravan, the first full production tribal belly dance and world fusion DVD produced in the UK.

Donna spent some time living and working in Spain and developed a love of Flamenco and Spanish culture. She adopted the name of a local landmark and gathering place, Pedralta (high rock) and formed Pedralta Dance in 2005, with her dance partner Lezley Hogg. They were joined in 2008 by Amanda Tivey. Pedralta go back to the roots of Flamenco and incorporate flamenco and sevillana moves into their improvisational repertoire
