Welcome to our little home on the world wide web. How Samara got started and the places we've been The Dancers who make up Samara. What Samara will do, and where we will go. How to get in touch.


Samara - the story so far ...

The dancers in Samara had worked together informally in 1999, but made the decision to create a more formal troupe in mid 2000. All the dancers are from the local area around Calderdale, Keighley and Skipton. Since forming Samara the troupe have performed at a number of locations and a variety of events. Follow the links on the "what we do" page to see some previous events, photographs of Samara in performance, and authentic comments from our audiences!
