I must admit, I've never understood the attraction of Chicho's dancing,
particularly in the video posted by Larry. I mean - 11 Back Sacadas
in 2 minutes? That's one every 12 seconds. I think this is an improvised
performance and Chicho just ran out of ideas. And it takes more than
a white suit, white shoes and a beautiful ballroom to make a guy elegant.
Btw, this is just my opinion on his dancing; Chicho might well be a great
teacher and choreographer. I don't know. Or maybe I'm just still thinking
about the great Miguel Zotto video that was recently posted.
