Italian dancer Antonio Spinelli has worked with huge artists on incredible events, and has also collaborated and dressed with huge brands such as Ferragamo, MM6 Margiela, GCDS and Dsquared2. Among his most notable performances, he was part of Rosalia’s ‘Motomami World Tour’, he danced for Dua Lipa and Bad Bunny, and was one of the dancers for Peso Pluma at the 2024 Coachella Music Festival.
You’ve worked with some of the biggest names in music, including Rosalia, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny, and Peso Pluma. What have been some of the most memorable moments from these collaborations?
I believe that every project and performance has a special place in my heart, but one that I will always cherish in my memory is this one night in Barcelona during the tour where the crowd gradually started to turn on the flashes of their phones, and I remember being absorbed in their lights that seemed to pop up one by one like fireflies in a dark night and suddenly my whole view was an arena full of thousands of flashes and people singing together. It was really a magical moment for me, because when you capture that instant of being fully present, you really share energy and life with those people, and that’s the beauty of being on stage for me.
Also, I had another special moment this year at Coachella. During the performance, it’s hard to see the crowd as far as you can and where it ends, so I tried to look at the iconic ferris wheel at the end of the park. That quick glance was the only thing that made me realise the amount of people watching us and what a blessing it is to be performing for such a massive audience and special event.
