“This is a genuine art. Being in it and expressing oneself are joy and happiness. Flamenco is a feeling and an extreme depth. It is much deeper than other dancing arts.

“Flamenco is more than muscle flexing at shaping classes. This is a way of splashing around those emotions that are generally suppressed in the office or elsewhere. No urban tense or rush. Harmony and recumbence rein here. Everything is in it, and every bit of it is honest, a lot of play and plastique.”

“This dance has always looked as the best way of self-identification to me. My meeting with Vasiliy and Inez Kleymenovs has changed my life entirely. They know and feel flamenco, living in it and inducing it in others. Once you feel like dancing flamenco, it wins you completely. Flamenco is passion, love, tender and suffering. At the same time, it is joy and happiness, an exceptionally lyrical and colorful holiday.”

“To me, flamenco is amor de dios. It is a pulsing life requiring stamina to look straight in what is before you and stand it firmly. I find Antonio Gades’ words about flamenco really important to me, “Flamenco is not a dance where you beat the earth. You need to caress the earth to draw a sound out of it.”

“Flamenco did not only get me through one of the hardships in my life, it also helped me experience love and family happiness. I feel a profound respect and love to those who have opened up the world of flamenco to me and taught me.”

“What is flamenco to me? It is the blood and salt of Granada land. It is extremely spring-loaded with thoughts, feelings and emotions eager to straighten up any moment into the rhythm of seguirilla, and only heaven can tell what will come. I appreciate flamenco like a power that taps me into the earth and ascends me through the entanglement of arms and destinies. This crying is a thirst for life.”

“Flamenco music takes a soul out of me, and I give way to this thrust of emotions in dancing. Its beauty and unconventionality add up to your emotions. The fusion of music and dance creates an excitement that makes you forget about the entire world and wrap up in your emotions completely. Flamenco has everything – love, passion, pain, joy and merriment. Depending on specific music and dance, your experiences are getting ten fold higher and equally down to earth as they are linked to prior or current situations. You drink in the might of emotions and enjoy the beauty of their implications. My life is apparently painted with flamenco paints.”
