Joaquín
Cortés dances flamenco with Maya Plisetskaya at Moscow's
Kremlin Palace. The Córdoba-born bailaor took
part in the ‘Don Quixote’ Gala, in honor of the
Russian dancer's 80th birthday. Joaquín
Cortés interrupted the evening's classicism
and burst onto stage with a flamenco group that brought the
crowd of six thousand people to their feet. In the end, he invited
the ‘Prima ballerina assoluta’, who didn't hesitate
to offer him some heel tapping. According to the newspapers,
she ended up giving him her shoes as a gift.
