He was one of the five dancers who helped lift Chanel to third place in the televote at Eurovision 2022.
And now Spanish dancer Exon Arcos is showing us once more why he’s among the most in-demand dancers in his country.
The “SloMo” mover and shaker has created original choreography to Ronela Hajati’s Eurovision entry “Sekret”, taking that reggaeton beat and making it fully his own.
“I’m so excited to share this with you guys,” he wrote on Instagram. “I created this choreography and the camera transitions of this song from @ronelahajatiofficial because it gives me fire and inspires me.”
He tagged his fellow dancers Cristy Cortez, Irene Temprado, Aritz Aren, and his Turin bestie Pol Soto, thanking them for “putting all your energy into my work.”

Exon’s passionate performance and precise movements have already won the praise of the Albanian queen herself. Responding on Instagram, Ronela said: “I’m literally dead,” punctuating her death with a heart eyes and fire emoji. “I f*cking love u.”
Kyle Hanagami, the world-renowned choreographer behind Chanel’s “SloMo” performance, also chimed in with a “WOWWWWWWW.” That’s SEVEN Ws at the end, y’all.
Chanel, known to tear it up on the stage herself, adding a big “i love you.”
Ronela isn’t just a fan of the Spanish delegation: She also loves the Spanish language. For the revamp of her song, which portrays a woman succumbing to desire, she added some lyrics in Spanish to celebrate her fans in Spain but also the beauty of their language.
As you’ll remember, she sang: “Baby feel my body, toca tocalo, I like it.”
But what about you? Do you like Exon’s spin on Ronela’s original? Let us know in the comments below!
Yo what is with these hatful comments bro. Someone said they love it and it had like 12-. And someone put their name as “Albania sucks” y’all can say the song or performance at Eurovision was bad all you want but little things like the names and comments you decide to leave because you can’t except something that is amazing shows that it really was all politics and all manipulation. Nothing like European white ppl hate. Albania sent ballads every year and the Europeans protest about wanting Albania to send a hip shaking sexy pop song, Albania does that and… Read more »
The song and performance were very aggressive and felt like an attack. Also, too much shouting, and she looked stressed. It was not in the same league as the 10 which qualified.
Too aggressive? You have got to be kidding me. First off there is nothing wrong with aggressive, second of all it was the euro fans who got mad that albania sent ballads over and over again begging for albania to send a hip shaking pop song and performance and when they do it’s a problem? How hypocritical can you ppl get ?. Yeah aggressive, just like fouriera and multiple other 30+ through out the years
Grunting over ethno beats always turns the typical eurofans (OGAE and lots on this site as well), they’re a very predictable bunch.
Turns on*, I meant to say.
It’s a shame what happened to this entry. It’s such a cool song. I still listen to it regularly.
Ronela is one of the few ESC acts i can remember that failed to qualify and people are still talking about her, and dancing to her
Ronela would’ve qualified and potentially came top 10 if she had a different creative team behind her.
This dance video further proves that.
Wait WHY does this have 11 dislikes lmaooooo
Nothing could have saved that song. No wait… where was the song, actually?
Personally, I think the song was great. It just felt a bit messy with the extra-long into and strangely placed instrumental breaks.
With a correct revamp the song could’ve done really well. But the messy staging and messy revamp it was bound to do bad.
I never understood why Albania always has to choose 4-minute songs that they then have to revamp. Why don’t they select Eurovision-ready songs?
It was all her vision, she did not want any help, so she’s only to blame for her failure.
Yep! She did a Conan Osiris.
Come on, Conan’s staging was great! It was just too ahead of its time.
What’s this all about. One of the dancers who played a bit around with the choreography. Much to do about nothing. Still an unremarkable and forgettable song. Won’t stand the test of times.
This is something Ronela needed. May have been enough to qualify, alongisde some little tweaks to the styling and the graphics.
Great job. ESC can be a gift that keeps on giving.
Now with this choreo and better styling Ronela would have been able to qualify easily..
Proof it is truly about the team and right ideas after all..
Another proof Ronela’s team destroyed a pontentially iconic entry.
It is still iconic for many of us
It’s great! Love that the choreo incorporated sexy elements just like the original.
Ronela cursing like a teenager isn’t trendy and cool, but more cringe and awkward.
Lmao this comment is so weak due to the fact that any actual English speaker would be able to understand that there was no curse words in the song what so ever.
Where was I talking about the song having any cursing?
lol another video with better camera work than what we’ve seen in Turin…
nice choreo
