We have one of the best teaching staffs. We love these people very much. And personally, I have been to their session more than once. Each choreographer has their own way of presenting technique and choreography. With each master class we learn something new and become more at ease."</blockquote>Maria Likhatskaya shared her emotions during the battle:<blockquote>"This is not the first time I've gone out, but each time it's like the first time, because you go out, you don't know what kind of music you’ll have, what style, where what beat is, where to make it stronger, where to make it softer. But with each time the experience grows on you and each time I become more open, confident and relaxed. Therefore, it is very useful."</blockquote>Alexey Angatkin also spoke about improvisation:<blockquote>"The improvisation is something unusual, every time it is something new. You go out, new music, new emotions, a new hall in which you improvise. It is a new feeling every time, which is impossible to forget."</blockquote>At the final concert, the participants showed the dances they had learned, and also took part in dance battles and a flash mob.

A final concert was held in Sirius, which ended the training camp of the Academy of the Firsts.&nbsp;After the concert, coach Alexandra Grinchuk summed up the training sessions:<blockquote>"This concert is dedicated to the end of our Academy of the Firsts training camp. We prepared for it for six days. Every day, the athletes’ schedule included dancing. And the uniqueness of our project was that, since this was a training camp in Sochi, we wanted to add a twist. These were Caucasian national dances. And today, the girls demonstrated what they had learned over the course of these six days. They learned to express themselves. Even the emotionality of these national dances, it still differs from regular dances, from regular exercises. And we are very glad that the girls had such an opportunity to try a new direction."</blockquote>The specialist also shared her impressions of classes at the Academy:<blockquote>"We have chosen the Academy for our training camp for the second year in a row because the conditions here are truly unique. There are luxurious halls, grounds, high ceilings, amazing carpets, excellent food, and grounds. That is, the girls can also take a walk after the training camp, go to the sea. Everything is so concise and harmonious. We would like to especially thank Alina Kabaeva for the conditions provided. Everything is excellent and at the highest level!"</blockquote>The Academy of the Firsts training camp took place on July 1-6.

Georgy Janelidze taught Georgian dance classes at the Academy of the Firsts training camp. Together with the athletes, they prepared performances for the final concert.At the final lesson, the teacher told about the specifics of working with gymnasts:<blockquote>"The children are athletic, the children are prepared, they already have some basics, their bodies are formed. And based on the fact that we didn’t have much time, we immediately started on the "heavy food". We started learning the movements, and everything worked out for us. All the girls absorbed it well, and all of our girls have their numbers ready. Girls from rhythmic gymnastics are different, because in our activity there is not enough time, and we immediately proceed to the basics of Georgian culture, to our movements, and then we move on to all the productions. Our children dance, but there is no such reverent work on gymnastics, on flexibility. But we cover this with our temperament, our fire that we give."</blockquote>He explained the goals of these productions:<blockquote>"That is, people's blood starts boiling inside, people are interested in watching, it lights people up, gives people goosebumps. And the organizers, I think, decided to awaken emotions in the girls, to cause this storm of emotions, so that they would feel what it is like not only in their direction, but also in our national Georgian direction."</blockquote>The Academy of the Firsts training camp took place on July 1-6.
