"The dance starts from her toes upwards. It is snake-like and sensual. Her eyes have a fire that burns through them that show her love of dance, and the fun and happiness she wants to portray is evident – it makes people want to get up and dance”

"A beautiful dancer”

"She was the best dancer because she smiled and connected and interacted with the audience and we could see her love for the dance”

"Watching Samara with the veil was like watching a butterfly"
