A SCHOOLBOY from the Costa del Sol has stunned judges on Britain\u2019s Got Talent with a confident, high-energy dance routine.<\/p>\n

The moment 12- year-old Juan Carlos appeared on stage, the young boy made his origins clear by answering \u2018I\u2019m from Spain\u2019 when asked where he was from.<\/p>\n

He then launched into a \u2018popstar\u2019 audition, dancing with confidence to hits by Shakira and Daddy Yankee.<\/p>\n

Carlos earned a unanimous yes from all four judges and moved on to the next round.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That passion was clear in a routine filled with attitude, precision and strong stage presence.<\/p>\n

His parents, Maria del Mar and Juan Carlos, watched proudly from the audience alongside his teacher and choreographer, Sara Jorge.<\/p>\n

Back home in Nerja, Juan Carlos is already well known. He grew up performing at San Miguel public school, where he studied, and trained at Sara Jorge\u2019s dance school.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nerja Town Hall was quick to celebrate the moment on social media, praising his \u2018talent, charisma and courage\u2019 and describing him as \u2018an example for the entire municipality\u2019.<\/p>\n

The audition has now gone viral, with thousands watching and sharing the clip. Local families and schools see the young dancer as a symbol of what can be achieved through dedication and training.<\/p>\n
