Cristina Hoyos

Director of the Andalusian Flamenco Ballet and of the Flamenco Museum

1. My main characteristic
Positive, responsible. I look for what is fair.

2. Main quality I look for in a person
Honesty.

3. What I appreciate most in my friends
Friendship. Lasting friendship.

4. My favourite dance show
I have seen many of them in my life, but I don’t have a favourite. I like classical dance, contemporary dance and, of course, flamenco.

5. My favourite poets
I have read a lot of Lorca and also Neruda. These are my favourites, but there are many others who interest me.

6. My heroes
Rather, a heroine: Mother Teresa of Calcutta. She achieved incredible work.

7. The word I dislike the most
Torture. It should never exist.

8. My bedtime reading
The last book that my niece gave me: “The boy in the striped pyjamas”.

9. My motto
My family, my husband and dance.

10. What Harlequin suggests to me…
The first thought that comes to mind is the fantastic interpretation of the character by an actor friend in the piece “Harlequin, servants of two masters”. Obviously, the word also makes me think of my dance floor!
