HAY BBS, LOOK AT THESE FIERCE BITCHES
Okay so I've been spamming Twitter lately with pics and videos of these two and I was told to make a post about it, so here you go.
SO WHO IS THAT TOTALLY INTENSE DUDE WITH OUR PRINCE?
He's Antonio Najarro, only the man responsible for some of the FIERCEST of our Zebra's programs: Carne Cruda, Poeta and Otoño Porteño. He has his own troupe that apparently mixes flamenco with jazz rn and I think he's very accomplished, but I honestly wouldn't know since I know absolutely nothing about dancing. He's also choreographed programs for other skaters as well as some stuff for our beloved Art On Ice.
He worked with Stéphane quite a bit during the years 2006-2008, and they were always very... intense together. (Yeah, I'm gonna use that word a lot but you see if you can come up with a better one)
Here they are in Tokyo in 2006. This pic brings out the tinhat in me, ngl.
Here, have a video where he's working on Poeta with Stéphane. It's been posted before, but let's all take a moment to appreciate the ~intensity of these two. Just look at Antonio totally checking Stéphane out.

(For those that don't speak German: Stéphane apparently gets a lot of ~positive energy~ from Antonio. Yeah, I'm not even gonna go there.)
But not only is he a badass choreographer, he's also performed on several occasions with our Prince Charming, which leads me to the real reason I'm making this post: their absolutely awesome and sorta confusing performances together.

IDEK what this is, but I love it. I'm guessing it's about ~masculinity and whatnot, since it's Flamenco, but all I see is eye-sex. Here, have a gif the Koreans made.
Eye-sex, I'm telling you.
And now, BEHOLD THE MATING DANCE OF THE MAGICAL ZEBRA
(Otoño Porteño)
THE WRIST-GRABBING. THE WEIRD DANCE MOVES. IT'S AWESOME AND YOU KNOW IT. I keep wondering what the ~story is in this program, but all I can see is a bizarre mating ritual between two manly men. That might just be me, idk.
I was compelled to make a crappy gif of it.
I hope I've ~inspired~ some of you to make gifs/art/poetry/fic/anything, because there needs to be more of that. I love the programs that came out of this cooperation, and I love these two together, ngl. Even if Antonio still kinda scares me.
