It is indeed a very nice dance and, in my opinion, it is not choreographed. And here is why I say that:

all, or the great majority of it is "leadable,"
some sequences are messy,
they know each other and have things in their own "bag of tricks" and so can quickly get into a practiced sequence on the spot.

Incidentally, while I do like Javier generally (don't have an opinion about Andrea), for my taste, his upper body is too stiff at all times. He rarely turns his head in the direction of the step (as Gavito does -- or did, peace be upon him -- all the time, for example). This makes the dance robot-like - perfect in execution, but with very little expression. Again, just my own preference.
