Valentina, being a worthy bearer of the surname upon arrival in Belarus is also noticed and noted the originality of folk costumes, shyness, combined with the naughtiness of the Belarusian dance, the sadness and humor of choreographic miniatures, the romance of Midsummer dances. Who did not know, was surprised: how could she, a native of the steppe of southern Russia (Gaevaya was born in Volgograd region), and we know the soul of the Belarusians. Not surprised the choreographer. She remembered grandmother's stories about her husband, the grandfather of Valentina, whose name was unfamiliar in those parts by the name of Ales, its unique dialect, which is their family nickname stuck Verevkina, because words like "rope" or "rag" in their family was pronounced in Belarusian firm.
