Maggie Gyllenhaal: Ramona's Ready to Flamenco!

Splash News Online

Watch out Suri Cruise, there is some new competition on the dance floor!

During a humorous visit to the Late Show with David Letterman last week, a giddy Maggie Gyllenhaal was counting down the days until Christmas, noting that this year would mark 3-year-old Ramona‘s first meaningful holiday. “She’s just starting to know what they’re all about,” Maggie explains.

And while she still may not have a grasp on the holiday as a whole, Ramona had no trouble creating her wish-list with the help of her parents!

With dad Peter Sarsgaard shooting a movie in Sevilla, Spain recently, the couple sat down with their daughter to show her a bit of the region’s culture. “We looked up a YouTube thing of a flamenco dancer,” Maggie laughs. One video later and Ramona’s interest was sparked!

“[Ramona's] really girly-girl and she wants a green flamenco dress [for Christmas]…and I have a feeling she’s going to get one!”

If Santa did deliver on his promise, the dress was sure to be a hit. Add the flamenco flair to Ramona’s already exceptional dance skills, and Maggie boasts that she’s got talent on her hands.

“She can dance man. And I worry about that when people say, ‘Oh my kid is going to be this, oh my kid is going to be that,’” she admits, before adding,

“But, my girl, she’s a dancer.”

Awww, how cute would it be to see shots of Suri and Ramona together in their flamenco dresses on the set fo thier daddies’ movie?! I’d be willing to bet good money this is the same kind of thing that led to Suri getting her flamenco dress, too!

Precious Suri always love to dance and she always have her dancing shoes and flamenco dresses. Remember Tom and Peter Sarsgaard are filming Knight and Day.
