Why he might be annoying:

He was usually described as a Spanish dancer, but he was born in Italy and raised in Brooklyn.
Earlier in his career, he made ends meet by running tickets for a Broadway scalper.
Dance critic Peter Williams wrote, 'He excels in all numbers that need a lot of stamping, but seems rather lost when it comes to anything more subtle.'
He came out of retirement well past his prime to perform in a dance company founded by his children.
He admitted, 'I had a lot of turkeys in my choreographic life.'

Why he might not be annoying:

He was named New Broadway Personality of the Year (1952).
He gave Spain's greatest dancers wider exposure by inviting them to guest star with his dance company.
He was knighted by Spain.
He said the secret of his success was 'The men wanted to be me and the women wanted to have me.'
