Astara is a proud Kentucky native whose love of movement began at an early age. What started as dance lessons quickly blossomed into a passion for many styles—including lyrical, jazz, tap, baton twirling, and belly dance. Astara went on to shine as a feature twirler for EKU, and today she gives back by coaching and inspiring young twirlers. She continues to explore dance in all its forms, soaking up the camaraderie of dancing with the troupe, the spontaneity of the occasional shimmy mob, and the pure exhilaration that comes with every successful performance. We’re so grateful to share the dance floor with her.
