An extremely well-organized event, with a concept that was clearly well thought out from the start. The performers and teachers were amazing, inspiring, and carefully selected with great variety. It was wonderful to meet dance people from all over Finland and even from around the world, and to get to know them. The best dance festival I’ve ever been to! I’m still thinking about the festival and smiling.

“Everyone involved in organizing the event was incredibly friendly and helpful. As someone coming from outside the city, I got a very positive impression of Dance Studio Flama. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming even for newcomers – I will definitely come again next year!

A big thank you! A successful event, truly worth the time and money – and more. The atmosphere was warm and full of smiles!

Thank you for a wonderful festival. The weekend offered a truly wide variety of workshops, with skilled and versatile instructors. The atmosphere and the people I met were wonderful, and the Flama team was lovely, friendly, and so thoughtful.
