Jose Greco Randy

[@karenmilliorn3205]

I was, maybe, 10 when my sister & I were taken to see José Greco & his troupe perform in Wichita Falls, Texas. The wood floors of our house suffered for weeks after from our attempts to emulate his dancers & we still cherish the memory of that evening of live & lively dance so long ago & are still fans over 60 years later!

Muchas gracias por esto. Cuando tenía 10 años conocí a José Greco en Manhattan cuando estaban haciendo audiciones para la gira de Jose Greco Dance Company. ¡Salía de la jubilación a los 70 años! Fui a la audición. Me hizo preguntas. Si me agradaran mis profesores y si amo a mi mamá. Le hice reír tanto que conseguí el papel justo ahí. En ese momento no tenía ni idea de quién era. Mi mamá era fan. Pero pudimos viajar con una DANCE TROUPE real ... y recuerdo el dolor de quitarme el maquillaje de ojos después de cada show, pero me sobornaron con toda la comida que quería jajaja. Una vez que me fui al Ejército, me enteré de que había fallecido. Él fue la única persona que vi poner a la gente en trance con su juego de pies. Su hijo también (José Greco Jr.) siempre estaba practicando. TODOS ellos siempre estaban practicando. Y todos eran artistas muy hábiles. Carmela siempre fue tan dulce conmigo. No tengo más que buenos recuerdos. Thank you so much for this. When I was 10 yrs old I met Jose Greco in Manhattan when they were doing auditions for the Jose Greco Dance Company tour. He was coming out of retirement at 70 years old! I went to the audition. He asked me questions. If I liked my teachers and if I love my mom. I made him laugh so much I got the part right there. At the time I had no idea who he was. My mom was a fan. But we got to travel with an actual DANCE TROUPE...and I remember the pain of taking off my eye makeup after every show but I was bribed with all the food I wanted lol. Once I left for the Army I had heard that he had passed. He was the only person who I saw put people in a trance with his footwork. His son too (Jose Greco Jr.) was always practicing. ALL of them were always practicing. And all were very skilled artists. Carmela was always so sweet to me. I have nothing but fond memories.

Mi jefe. La Argentinita, Carmen Amaya y josé Greco pusieron el Flamenco en el mapa mundial. En el ícono está José, La Tati y yo a la derercha. Fué un placer para mi conocer a La Tati en especial y participar en el la misma gala.

Terrific! I watched this because of the Dick Van Dyke scene where the dad says his boy started studying Jose Greco! Awesome!

[@cheriewolfe7666]

That little kid performed the dance routine on the Dick Van Dyke Show. It was amazing!

Miguelito, the little boy... What is his real name, what is his story? Anyone know?

[@staciebonner3411]

Yes ma'am. I think the little boy in this clip is that boy.

[@kwdrm1]

​@@staciebonner3411I think his name was Michael Davis.

[@jonlarkster]

[@janecapo8252]
