After graduating, Ceyda was invited to spend four months at The State Turkish Conservatoire for Music and Dance in Izmir, Turkey. She trained in traditional Turkish folk dance including Zeybek and Denizli, the dance styles of her heritage. Whilst in Izmir, Ceyda taught contemporary dance workshops to degree students, youth companies and also a company of professional dance teachers.
Since returning to the UK, Ceyda has founded Ceyda Tanc Dance in April 2012. She has recently started teaching Turkish folk dance workshops in the UK and will continue this, to enable dancers to learn a new dance form, as well as her company repertoire.
