Csillagszeműek Dance Ensemble – celebrates 30 years. This group was founded by Timár Böske as a place to train children to dance and perform folk dance on a high level using her husband Timár Sándor’s methodology for teaching traditional dances. When the group was formed, the Timárs were still leading the State Ensemble. Csillagszeműek Dance Ensemble functions as an independant entity, though the original idea was for the group to be under the wing of the Hungarian State Folkdance Ensemble. Csillagszeműek has been directed, managed, organized and led by Böske herself; now her son Timár Mihály is artistic director and looks forward to the next 30 years carrying on the Timár family tradition and success of the group. It is no secret that Csillagszeműek has been interwined with and strongly associated with the Timár family’ life – one of Böske’s original personal goals was to create a community where their children (five, plus one) could learn to dance according to their parents’ methodology and ideas. Timár Sándor’s participation, teaching methods and choreographies have naturally contributed to the group’s success. The group has recieved the Hungarian Heritage and Prima Primisssima awards.
