Wow, that was incredible. He's so flexible! It's crazy!

He chose very appropriate music, even before he started the dance when he said he is a dancer, I said "wow I could see him as Billy Eliot" and then i heard the music and there you go!

To the mum: I just learned from listening just about a million times songs of Julio Iglesias how to stylize any sensory/atmosphere impression to kind of "word" (somewhat like he does in his singing) so that any movement forms a kind of motion poem, besides teaches you to see the song like qualities in life! Try it, nothing to lose, everything to gain. I am not especially fit myself at the moment, so I guess that anyone could physically learn it.
