The Introduction to Flamenco Dancing
Flamenco is a Spanish art form made up of three parts:
guitar playing, song and dance. Flamenco originated in the southern regions of
Spain, but it's thought to be influenced by many world cultures, including
Latin American, Cuban, and Jewish traditions.
Originally flamenco dancing was not set to music; it was
only singing and clapping of hands. Some flamenco dancing still follows ancient
tradition, but the use of guitars and other musical instruments has become more
popular in modern flamenco.
Flamenco dancers try to express their deepest emotions by
using body movements and facial expressions. As the dancers perform, they may
also clap their hands or kick their feet. Many dancers also snap small
percussion handheld instruments called "castanets."
The Concept of Flamenco in the film
Hrithik (played by Anant Joshi) is a Flamenco dancer. His
friends Ranveer (Mahendra Pandey) and Varun (Ranjeet Jha) plan to meet at his
residence as long time since they all met. Hrithik is all set to perform for a
show and so he practices a few dance steps at home. And also invites both of
his friends to come to the show. As Ranveer takes an excuse that he can’t make
it due to his other commitments, Varun promises to show up for the show. The
song and dance is shown in two sequences, the first one as a practice session
at home and the main thing at an event.
