Lagün is only 24 years old. But she is the first of her generation in Turkey to specialize in classical ballet and modern dance simultaneously, and one of the few names we can count in Turkey when we include previous generations. Moreover, she has been selling her products online for about five years and has a dancewear brand bearing her own name.

“While working at the Ankara State Opera and Ballet, I resigned and moved to Israel.”

Lagün Şengelen, who was attracted to the libertarian and innovative structure of modern dance despite the prescriptive structure of ballet and wanted to develop herself further in this field, attended trainings on the Gaga technique in Israel.

Her ideal is to blend her social heritage with her art and present it to the society

Lagün Şengelen stated that every region in our country has its own steps, choreography and music, in this sense, she would like to study and experience local folk dances in particular, and then she would like to stage them by blending them with classical ballet or modern dance.

Surprised Eylül Aşkın!

Lagün, in addition to being a successful dancer and entrepreneur who puts effort into her education and self-development, constantly working to get better in her field, breaking new ground in Turkey with her eponymous dancewear brand and offering dancewear, which has always had to be imported until today, to enthusiasts with the possibility of 100% domestic production, she is also a young woman who is very sensitive to the land and the world she lives on, has been raised very well by her family, and wants to master her culture. The existence of such young people and the thought of what they can do in the future gives one hope.
