Sitara
Sitara is a professional instructor, choreographer and performer based in Essex who has been teaching and performing belly dance since 2002. She is also the Artistic Director of the Eastern Roses Dance Troupe.
Born to Hungarian parents Sitara's lifelong passion for dance began at the tender age of 7 with classical ballet, tap and Jazz classes. Her dancing school would perform regularly in theatre shows and it was there that her desire to further her dancing dream first began. Nurturing an interest in continental dance styles she later went on to take up Salsa. It was during a trip to Turkey that Sitara discovered belly dancing and was immediately mesmerised by this mystic ancient art form that was to become a way of life.
Over the years Sitara has studied with many local and UK based & award winning international teachers in the industry including Ansuya, Sonia Ochoa, Amar Gamal, & Bozenka ( USA Bellydance Superstars) & Aziza.
