00:00Hi Monica, how are you? How are you? How are you all?
00:01It was a well-deserved recognition, wasn't it?
00:03Ah, yes, of course, the boss, as I call him, we had to be here today, that's great, isn't it?
00:07Yes, but you have worked with him.
00:09Yes, he tells me, you have to be there, that we're like family, I say, well, it's true,
00:13And for me, Joaquín is, well, I think that, apart from being personally, professionally,
00:19The most important person in my life, because I started with him and he gave me everything that has come.
00:24after,
00:24thanks to working with him.
00:26And what was he like as a boss?
00:28Very strict, but I loved it.
00:30I mean, he was very strict, very disciplined, but of course, that's part of dancing too.
00:34So having a boss like that taught me a lot and helped me a lot too.
00:37Learn a lot, don't you?
00:38A lot, a lot.
00:39Well, Juan Peña has told us that even Michael Jackson asked him to tell him some dance steps.
00:43Yes, yes, yes, I remember the time I lived with him, when there were no internet networks or anything like that,
00:47But I've experienced such amazing things that I always tell my daughter about them.
00:51And I say, I'll tell my grandchildren about it someday, because it was amazing.
00:56We used to dance in football stadiums for 10,000 people,
01:00In Copacabana, on the beach, the whole beach, it was like rock and roll concerts.
01:05Armani dressed us, but Armani came to measure us, the dancers.
01:10And to make us, well, the design that made us so incredible, imagine.
01:15I mean, it was all like, what's going on here?
01:18Yes, that's how I was for seven years of my life or more.
01:21Does he deserve more recognition here in Spain?
01:23Many more, I believe, both then and now.
01:26Because what he has done for dance has been incredible, and he is also a visionary.
01:31At first people watched the shows and because he mixes everything up,
01:36As a dancer, you need to have a very good foundation in ballet, flamenco, and classical Spanish dance.
01:40And that merger, many people didn't understand it, but he's always thought so.
01:45He has been a visionary, and the things he has done since he was very little are also impressive.
01:49You surround yourself with some really big people, huh? Your sister?
01:53Well, I've been lucky, my sister is family and yes, also, well,
01:59Well, I feel fortunate, my family, Joaquín, to have people by my side who have taught me so much
02:06And to whom I owe so much that, well, I feel like they are gifts from life, right?
02:10She has shone in San Sebastián at the Donosti Festival, with the Javis,
02:15The Javis have commented that she is a super gifted, visionary actress.
02:20Yes, she does, well, I'm saying it because I'm saying it, it's my right, she's my sister,
02:26But she has incredible talent, besides the fact that she's a one-woman show, because you can have talent,
02:30But if you don't work at it, your talent will be lost along the way.
02:33So she's a natural worker, and for me, having that reference from my older sister is great.
02:38She's such a fighter, and she's taught me a lot too.
02:41Even Bráspita has commented that she would love to work with Javier or Javier.
02:44Yes, I saw it today, yes.
02:46What pride, my God.
02:47And what about the little girl, what about the guy? What about the little girl or the teenager?
02:50Good, very good.
02:51Did the start of the course go well?
02:52Okay, I'm looking forward to starting the routine, and well, it's very pretty.
02:57Please, dancer?
02:58Is it going to start?
02:58No, she's crazy about volleyball and plays a lot.
03:04And lots of projects, right?
03:06I guess so.
03:06Yes, well, excuse us, we're getting calls, very happy, non-stop, and may it continue like this.
03:11Well, thank you very much.
03:11To you.
03:12Thank you.
03:13Thank you.
03:13Thank you.
03:13Thanks for watching the video
