Zsolt Farkas was born in 1973 in the Northeast of Hungary, an area with a vibrant Gypsy culture. Gypsy dance and traditional Gypsy culture played a big part in his childhood. Everybody in the community danced or played music. Zsolt was 14 when he first participated in international dance camp, organized by his uncle Gusztáv Balázs. These camps were a great inspiration, as children not only learned Hungarian Gypsy dances but those from other countries. His other master was Béla Balogh, from whom he learnt the artistic elements of dance in the Lindri Dance Theatre. In 1997 he joined world-famous band Kalyi Jag, with whom he toured the world. In 2001 Zsolt founded the award-winning Khamoro (Sunshine) Gypsy Dance Association and the Khamoro Dance Group. He is still the leader of these groups. Zsolt has received a bronze award of distinction from the Hungarian Republic. He has also taught hundreds of students the basics of Gypsy dance.
