Interview with Samantha Cameron, Tú Mismo magazine
Excerpt from interview:
You clearly saw that you could join dance with yoga, and created Shakti Dance?
Yes, Shakti Dance is my creation. The first dances began in 2008, slowly at first, I had my fears. They began simply, with some asanas, all very firmly established. The choice of music is very important to me. If I do not I connect emotionally to the music, it is very difficult to create interesting choreography.

Music expresses emotions so well.
