Some people with whom I've studied say depreciatingly that this is all too modern. Watching him dance, I don't see the traditional pain and suffering of the gitanos. But whatever he does feel comes out in his dancing and you can see it. He is like a kid, playing around, but he communicates that with the audience. I've seen so many other dancers who are all serious but still lack that "old" spirit, and they don't communicate it to you.

I don't get goosebumps watching this alegrias, but I do laugh, and anyways, that's what alegrias is about.

Here are Pili and Andres, husband and wife team, she was my teacher last year.
