Early Javier
Just happened across four early (circa 2003-2004, judging by the hair style?) performances of Javier Rodriguez with Geraldine Rojas at PorteƱo y Bailarin. There are some breath-taking pieces of footwork and mini-sequences (especially clips 2 and 3) which are not often seen these days, and a rare chance to see Javier – who will be visiting Singapore in May – dancing a vals! Enjoy the trip down memory lane.
