"We can see a woman fighting her emotions - who doesn't forget the obligations of her status, so she suppresses her own feelings," says Lazar, who studied folk dance in college.Roman, who has been dancing since he was 10, and received his training in the United States and Europe in folk dance, classical ballet and modern dance, founded ExperiDance Production in 2000.
With Hungarian folk and modern dance, the dancer-choreographer has created a special dance language.
The company has staged more than 20 productions worldwide, including 1001 Years, Revenge and Time of the Gypsies.
"We, Hungarians have dance traditions that have become famous and popular all over the world, making our country well-known, too," Roman says on his company website.
He adds that dancers today face a bigger challenge than their predecessors did as they need to popularize old traditions in a way that relates to people with fast-changing tastes.
