Samb-Adagio Safri Duo《Samb-Adagio (Original Club Version)》 23 0320: Kamila Valieva spoke about her demonstration number at the Russian Challenge show tournament. In this issue, the figure skater appeared in a new role, which was not typical for her, demonstrating temperament, plasticity and the ability to control her body. - Daniil Markovich (Gleikhengauz - ed.), Together with Eteri Georgievna (Tutberidze), at first they gave me one number, but then they realized that it was a bit not for show programs and offered another option - the image of a shaman. The plot of my program is as follows: I leave the wigwam and see that everything around is scorched by drought, there is neither water nor grass, people and animals are languishing from hunger and thirst. I take my shaman tambourine and try to make it rain to prevent the death of all life. I succeed - it starts to rain. And at this moment I enjoy the fact that there are butterflies around me and everything comes to life ... We rehearsed this number, of course, without rain, but everything was real for the competition. (Laughs). In terms of pace, this number is somewhat similar to my demonstration “Wednesday”, but there I worked more with my hands, and here with my whole body - legs, head, everything that is possible. This number is not typical of my type, because I had more lyrical programs, classical ones, if you can call them that. And here there is more temperament, freedom of movement, and to be honest, I got high from this program. We chose the suit very carefully. There were two options, but we settled on this one, in which I rode. My mother helped a lot with the costume. Before the start of the performances, she sat over the costume for ten hours, finishing some small details, cleaning somewhere, changing, adding. Unusual earrings, in which I rode, were also made by her. Special thanks I would like to say to our makeup artist Karina, who did a very cool hair and makeup for me. I was overjoyed. I will definitely remember my performance at this tournament. The number turned out to be unusual, cool and new in style for me,” Camila said. 📎 FFKR
