I was lucky and blessed to know Mariam Prokou. The first thing that impressed me when I met her was her hands; unbelievable hands that danced! Then came her glance, which portrayed the meaning of her dance. What is unique is not just her talent, her dancing skills, and her knowledge of dance, but, above all, the gift of transmitting these qualities! With Mariam, you do not simply learn to dance, but also to love your body, youthful or mature, lean or plump, and to sway it with audacity and, mainly, with ethos! If I could use one work to describe Mariam, this would be Quality.
