Choreography By Laura Ward/Octavia Cup Dance Theatre Ay Mi Perro is a comical modern dance en pointe about dog walking in NYC accompanied by a very dramatic old Spanish song by "the golden voice of Andalusia", La Nina de Antequera. The piece is an excerpt from Enredaderas: Entanglements (2004).

Niña de Antequera, grande entre las grandes

[manga12]

looks a bit funny but kind of racy, haveing the guy at leg like that and then smacking him on the hide looks a bit sadistic if you will.

nice song though but I never got into modern dance too abstract

sth u'll never understand...with your attitude...

[Chiocolata]

I searched for something with this son it´s "ay mi perro" from "La niña de antequera" - played in "carne tremula". It´s actually a song about a dead dog and how great he was and so on - pretty cool.

To make it short: THIS PERFORMANCE what so ever does not match the meaning of the song at all. These amateurs would have done better with a song which underlines her fun appeal. Not one, which is maybe a bit ironic, but serious and passionate and content - even a different content as they show.

wtf...wats that?

Not sure what they're doing, but they did chose the bestest everest most Spanishist classic song ever. Pure firey brilliance, La Niña.
