A great way to destress
as a dancer with plenty of time spent in perfectionist environments, I am THRILLED to see this plot LOL it sounds fun!
I have not watched the entire movie, only the trailer, and it looks amazing! And very very realistic!!!!
This women is middle aged and of lesser athletic ability, so flamenco is PERFECT for her...
She too needs to escape into right brain creativity and expressiveness....
This story happened to me too but not with flamenco LOL Flamenco is a GREAT choice for the movie!!!!
Esp since flamenco is soooooo over the top dramatic, FLASHY, and soapy LOL this is a riot :)
and very plausible bc flamenco has lots of middle aged dancers, it is not a youngster thing for fun...
flamenco is very serious, and although flirty, not lewd, it is more about asserting personal power, in a very flashy and dramatic way - "you must notice me!!!!" and it is mostly solo but you can dance in a group too or even have a partner, and it has amazing complicated steps and music, even Africans appreciate it,
Flamenco has RHYTHM and music and stomping steps... it is perfect for emoting and breaking out - any time you want - it is a solo dance.... and doesnt require jumping or lots of space, and it has no sexy moves so nobody will be alarmed to see you dance in public ...
so you can dance it in the bathroom if you want... ! you can dance it on the street, bearfoot on the grass, in the middle of public areas, ..... anywhere.... and it is relatively easy to do....
and flamenco has lots of time expressing grief and sorrow and loss and pain and hurt and dancing it out .... stomping it all out....
and lamenco is quite easy to dance, it is NOT an athletic dance... there is more technique and attitude... and it doesnt require any expensive stuff except shoes... the skirt, the top, the shawl, you can wear on the street..... the dance itself requires just a tiny bit of space so you can dance it in your cramped tiny apartment...
the music and lively and EMOTIONAL and the dance moves are EMOTIONAL, you get to express EMOTION as much as you can - totally go over the top...
so it makes perfect sense that this woman took up to flamenco
GOOD CHOICE!!!!
If she picked Latin like salsa, ballroom or tango -- which all require male partners and are overly sexualized; or belly dance - which is solo but in a room with just other women - those dances are easy to do and would fit her fitness level and she COULD realistically dance it - but then we would call her ranchy lewd and the plot of this drama would suffer....
,
if she picked jazz or swing or soemthing more lively like that then it would be unrealistically aerobic and athletic for a middle aged woman starting from zero....
If she picked zumba at the local community center or senior center LOL then it would be too adjuma lackluster.....
If she picked something very cultural, like hula or Tahitian dance or African dance then it would introduce a whole new layer of dealing with that foreign culture and tradition..
lamenco is often danced as a universal dance, many total strangers teach it as totally unrelated to the culture, solely as "exercise" ... so...... it is PERFECT for the drama
FLAMENCO WAS A PERFECT DANCE CHOICE! wow I am impressed :)
