00:08My creations are in the sport, in the fashion, on a stage, in the water, in the swimming pool, in
00:16Disney.
00:17I'm a very open person, and I'm obsessed with that Spanish dance can be known in all places possible.
00:24With my dancers, we created the whole choreography.
00:29It was incredible because I realized the world of Disney.
00:32I had many video calls with Disney studios.
00:37I've been with 40 creative people who are dedicated to something very concrete.
00:42My creations have a very specific label and very recognizable.
00:47The person who wants to see Antonio Najarro,
00:52even though he is new, innovative, even though he is different,
00:55he knows a little bit what he is going to see.
00:58The idea is going to come out, but once the idea is placed in the Bailarini
01:01and the choreography is created,
01:03it has to be perfect for me and for all my team.
01:06I'm a perfectionist in choreography, in lighting, in vestuario, in sound, in everything.
01:14Everything has to be very balanced and perfect.
01:17I'm trying to get to the perfection, which is impossible.
01:21Well, I have the great luck, which is for me the most important thing,
01:27that I don't lose the illusion.
01:29I have a lot of illusion daily.
01:31I don't have two days equal.
01:33I have a habit that has caught my life.
01:38Every day that I wake up, I have a lot of illusion.
01:40I have something that I love and I can dedicate to it.
01:43In Japan, I have, I dare to say,
01:47more knowledge of the flamenco and the flamenco and the flamenco
01:49that in Spain.
01:51When that happens in other countries,
01:52then you arrive to your country and say,
01:54why not here?
01:55Why not here?
01:56But not for my personal interest,
01:58but because it would be a country,
02:00much more, from my point of view,
02:02much more evolved.
02:04And I have to wait to see how many different scriptures
02:06at the moment.
02:06And hopefully you Elena will see them.
