A SCHOOLBOY from the Costa del Sol has stunned judges on Britain’s Got Talent with a confident, high-energy dance routine.
The moment 12- year-old Juan Carlos appeared on stage, the young boy made his origins clear by answering ‘I’m from Spain’ when asked where he was from.
He then launched into a ‘popstar’ audition, dancing with confidence to hits by Shakira and Daddy Yankee.
Carlos earned a unanimous yes from all four judges and moved on to the next round.
The young dancer was clearly moved by the result, celebrating with tears of joy as the audience cheered. That emotional image has quickly become the most talked-about moment of the show.
While his family has a long history of flamenco, his mother was a dancer and his grandparents sang in a choir, Juan Carlos prefers modern urban dance.
That passion was clear in a routine filled with attitude, precision and strong stage presence.
His parents, Maria del Mar and Juan Carlos, watched proudly from the audience alongside his teacher and choreographer, Sara Jorge.
