We are a very typical Spanish family - a bullfighter, an actress, a flamenco dancer and singer!
I used to be a dancer, and for me it was a really good combination of dance and acting.
A dancer's life is all about repetition.
I met my wife, Doreen, who was a dancer in the show.
I very much like dance and dancers.
I don't go to these places where there are belly dancers and this and that.
Selma: I listen to my heart.
Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.
What 'War and Peace' is to the novel and 'Hamlet' is to the theater, Swan Lake' is to ballet - that is, the name which to many people stands for and sums up an art form.

My mum took me to the ballet at three, and that was the only time I sat still, with jaw open, mesmerised. She brought me home, and I wouldn't stop dancing.
Ballet pumps are the dream shoes because they are so comfortable. They look great both with jeans and summer dresses; and you can even wear the right pair with an evening gown.
Ballet Beautiful is really good for me, and it doesn't hurt my back, and it's a way for me to kind of get my heart moving and tone every part of my body.
I attended Professional Children's School in Manhattan because my ballet and modern dance schedules were intensive and had started to interfere with regular school hours.
I had a really creative teacher at primary school. He used to get us doing things such as singing Spandau Ballet in drag in the choir, and I remember loving it.
I've spent a lot of time playing Bach partitas. One of my first jobs was to play for ballet and modern classes, so the music in 'Partita' is kind of like choreography for me.
