The MYD Show – Spend a Moment in My Reality with Sascha Olivier Sampson

Sascha Olivier Sampson is a Namibian Dancer, Dance Instructor, Owner of the Moon Goddess Dance Studio and Lecturer in Performing Arts at the University of Namibia. Dance has always been Sascha’s life, so when a scary diagnosis meant Sascha couldn’t dance her world was shattered.  However, this became a turning point in her dance career and ultimately saw her move into a different style of dance, Belly Dance.

“After going to the doctors, and them not knowing for a while what was wrong, they discovered it was my heart. The heart being a muscle and it being worked to it’s fullest capacity when I was rehearsing, it had decided no more and it was only functioning at about 50 percent.”

In this episode of the MYD Show, Sascha shares with us on how even a difficulty in the road could be a turning point to the life of your dreams.

“The wisdoms that I have, have been put together through experiences. One of them, is a piece of information that I give to all my students, is that it doesn’t matter how good you are, it matters how good you are to work with.”
