The paso doble is my favourite dance on 'Strictly,' so I'm so pleased I get to do it.
Dance is in the air, pirouettes, very difficult. Mime is on the floor, like Spanish dancing perhaps, and very often in slow motion.
I was a Spanish dancer. I don't mean to put that down, because that was great, too, but nothing like the kind of dancing you had to do in 'West Side Story,' which was called jazz.
I use Spanish dancing as a way to exercise. I've done that for my whole life.
The culture of modern Spain is something many people are still discovering.
I've always loved Spanish. I love my father's Spanish records.
Soledad Barrio is clearly a master - of thrilling steps and passionate movement. She stalks, she circles, she struts, she snaps her head - her feet drill the stage.
I love the dancing and the music from Latin cultures. I went to a Flamenco show in Spain once, and it completely took my breath away!
I listened to 'En la Ceremony' and had always wished it had some flamenco guitar.
Nobody could call the work of Noche Flamenca & Soledad Barrio pallid.
Orange and speckled and fluted nudibranchs slide gracefully over the rocks, their skirts waving like the dresses of Spanish dancers.
