Henrique Quos and Valentino Vladimirov both come from different backgrounds - Henrique is Brazilian and Valentino is Bulgarian. They have experienced the hardships of the industry in a number of ways and have learned an incredible amount about being a professional, about valuing yourself, about bringing the best out of people, and being kind to yourself and others in environments that can sometimes present themselves as difficult.
"Everything we do, we do out of love for dance, for our craft, and for people who are brave to pursue the life of an artist. We take all the focus off of ourselves, we become guides, and we dig into the best ways to make people reach their goals." - HQV2 Creative
