Meet Galia Saravalli, television professional who says,
"I dance therefore I am."
"I moved from Spain to Argentina when she was 9 and went to
a school that was part of the Spanish government
and they offered flamenco. We also did other Spanish
folklore dances such as jota and sevillanas.
"I was born in Madrid. It makes me feel more Spanish, if that is possible.
I have lived in many countries and always look for something that takes me
back to my native Spain. I have always been intrigued by Indian culture and
all things from India, therefore the combination is perfect for taking me back to my roots.
"Flamenco expresses every human emotion that you can think of. Each palo has its feeling.
You could dance a soleá which is very serious and introverted or a bulería which is very
festero and outgoing. You can express yourself through many palos and run the gambit
of human emotions with flamenco depending on what palo you are dancing at the time. With
other types of dance such as ballet you are a bit limited since it is hard to go from being
very serious and solemn to very silly and light. For example if one is dancing a soleá por
bulería, you start your piece very dramatically and end with an air of mockery. It is truly a
creative art form and it requires individual and teamwork as well.
