Dance Conservatorium
Having been in the entertainment industry nearly all of her life, Zarina Potapova started her exciting career at a very early age. Born in Voronezh Russia and, after dancing passionately in front of the television set since she was only three years old, she became a student at the Dance Conservatorium at the age of twelve and moved to Moscow to finish her education as a dancer and teacher of choreography. Destined for greater things, it didn’t take too long before she was dancing and entertaining on stages, in theatres and exclusive nightclubs throughout Europe and the world with one of Russia’s most prestigious directors Alexei Sheliakin.
Hans Klok
Moving to the Netherlands, she is currently performing on stages and television studios all over the world and is enjoying a fantastic and explosive career as a dancer, stage performer and is currently sharing the stage with one of the world’s most respected illusionists Hans Klok as his magic assistant.

Performances
In the last 10 years Zarina has appeared on a multitude of international television shows and has shared the stage with, amongst others: Sir Paul McCartney, Lionel Richie, Madonna, Pamela Anderson and Jermaine Jackson. And if this isn’t enough, she has also performed for a collection of Royalty including Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.

These TV performances included chat shows from US celebrities such as Conan O’Brian and Ellen Degeneres.
