We are very happy to find ourselves here. The best conditions globally for working with the gymnasts."</blockquote>The specialist also told what competitions the athletes are preparing for.:<blockquote>"We have a very serious task — we will travel to the Crystal Rose. Therefore, further to recovery, we are already working on the program and want to start the serious work next week, so that to be in time to prepare for the competition."</blockquote>Honored Coach of Russia Laysan Savitskaya also revealed the secret of why the music selected for Nicole Rimarachin Diaz was the one Lala Kramarenko performed to:<blockquote>"She had an opportunity with this music to express the character of Spain. And to show very strong artistry. Certainly, Lala had more complicated music. And we decided for Nikole to make her try in a new role. She always did some lyric, classical things with us and there is a desire to unlock her from a new side."</blockquote>The recovery camp will continue until July 21.

The first session of the intensive course of the Alla Dukhova's TODES school-studio at the Martial Arts Academy has ended.After the final concert, the participants shared their impressions of the classes.Anastasia Stepanova noted the teaching staff of the intensive:<blockquote>"There are master classes from our teachers. 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.
