dailystar.co.uk:

Chihuahua has captured people's hearts when she performed a spectacular dance routine of Swan Lake at Crufts. Tiny pooch, Joya, and her handler Karin Baumann, attended the international dog show in Birmingham yesterday (Sunday, March 13) where they pulled out an elegant choreography based on Tchaikovsky's ballet play.Karin's attention to detail can be seen in the set-up before they enter the venue as workers replace the chunky obstacle course markers with inflatable swans.When the music plays and Karin, who dressed in a white tutu and leotard, tips her toes and dances sideway, Joya follows suit and moves in a highly collected "trot" right next to her.The pooch leaves viewers stunned when she leans on Karin and mimics a passe – lifting her front limb and hind leg up in the air.She follows Karin's instruction and jumps through the hand loops and stands still when Karin picks her up from the ground.The pair's move perfectly in sync and strike the same pose when the music stops.Karin and Joya's performance won their audience's hearts as they clapped and cheered for them at the end.Want all the latest shocking news and views from all over the world straight into your inbox?We've got the best royal scoops, crime dramas and breaking stories - all delivered in that Daily Star style you love.Our great newsletters will give you all you need to know, from hard news to that bit of glamour you need every day.
