Roy Assaf is a mammal of the hominid family belonging to the species Homo sapiens, although some are convinced he possesses Neanderthal genes. He was born in 1982 in a place that some call Israel and some call Palestine. He broke his front tooth at age five while dancing on the slippery floor of his family home. At age six he began giving tap concerts for his neighbor  who watched him dance on his concrete balcony from her window across the yard. At age 16 he met Regba Gilboa, who rooted in Roy the confidence that dance is where he belongs. In 2003 he met Emanuel Gat who introduced him to Schubert and for whom he wore his first dress. After three years in France he came home, and after one year of idleness, he gathered the courage to make a dance after which he created another and another and continues to this day.
