      I watched the Toledo dancer's way of moving his arms. This is called "braceo" in flamenco. For instance, at the start of his flamenco/paso, he raises his arms in what I call "banderillas", as if he is a banderillero on a horse in the bullfight arena ready to stab the bull with 2 sticks just before the matador does the final stab to it and the fight ends......

    One detail I really like is that Fran's father isn't laughing. He doesn't like Scott's Paso Doble and there's perhaps a trace of amusement visible on his face, but he is a refined man with manners and doesn't laugh.

      You're right. If anything, it's like Rico feels a bit sorry for Scott, because he's making a fool of himself and doesn't realise it - and there's also a touch of irritated pride, because Scott has unknowingly taken Rico's cultural traditions and basically pissed on them. Then there's the resolute "You want to dance paso doble? THIS is how you do paso doble!"

    I love how Scott gets humbled in this scene from hot shot to limp peacock out of his element. But instead of humiliating him, Fran's father teaches him and Scott accepts to learn from someone better than him that his arrogant self would have probably dismissed if it wasn't for Fran since he's prone to judge a book by its cover and his entitled head is stuck in his bubble.
    Fran first told Scott that he refused to teach her because he looked down on her as a beginner and was afraid she might become great and outshine him.
    Now the tables turn and Scott is the beginner eager to learn but Fran's grandma and her dad are not afraid to show him how to dance real Paso Doblé that comes from the heart.

      which daughter is really asking a father that life seems to have broken? To have an ability and a talent doesn't mean you live it. But she shares the dream to be a dancer. A woman can not learn the dance from a man,, she can learn to dance the paso doble with a man, but not from him, as the emotions expressed are different.
      you see a family that sits there and enjoys from time to time the coming together and very seldomly the dance. They know how the dance feels, but they are far off from "home" and therefore also from their roots. She wants to revive things, she seeks something she feels is still there, and therefore she is doing the same as he (the male dancer) - trying to find the dance and the own expression.

    The Paso is about tightly controlled power, iron self confidence, PERSONALITY, dominance, the claiming of territory. It isn't the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight in the dog. It isn't a pretty fancy stepped tea dance. It's the rage of the bull, the matador's swing of the cape, the stabbing of the sword. It's blood on the sand, either the bull's or the matador's. Or both. Prancing and arm swinging? No.

    I am a very quick music and dance study person. Even in Spanish. Antonio says to Scott as Antonio trys to kick him out...... "Largate...Fuera de aqui!" (Get away! Out of here!). Then his grandmother acted by Armonia Benedito says "Tu bailas el paso doble?" (Do you dance the double step?). Antonio then says..."Enseigneme" (Teach me). When Fran and Scott are about to dance, Antonio says "Alle!" (Come on! Get on with it!). When Antonio dances the flamenco tapping paso himself, he calls for the guitarist something like "A las compas!"--"to the rhythm--strict distinct rhythm", as a "llamada" (or "call"), one of the terms common to flamenco. Before that, the Toledo flamenco guitarist does a improvised gypsy singing flourish that I probably call a "sad-singing Roma-enhanced lament", before the exciting tap action begins. Antonio finishes the tapping with I call "los tres golpes" - strong tap accents, leading to a grand stop - or "el paradon" - ending the flamenco-paso dance.

  • @charlessmith263
    @charlessmith263 2 роки тому +4

    I am a self-proclaimed scholar of flamenco dancing, and ballroom dancing/Latin dancing too. I used to dance the paso doble with my former French girlfriend, and France is one of the countries involved in the Latin dance called the Paso Doble--not just Spain.
    You hear the Spanish term, "Vamos, vamos Compas!" (or "go, go, rhythm!")---that means it is like "subida" (or "rising up") in flamenco dancing--both mean "to speed up the tempo." The tremolos that happen when the Toledo dancer does his flamenco is called "rasgueado", and that vocalise by the singer that happens under the rasgueado is an example of Romany-related music focusing on the Phrygian scale. (No wonder flamenco definitely has an affinity to Arabia!)
    Paso Doble itself adores flamenco dancing very much, and in the paso dance, there is a school step called "flamenco taps" at the gold level. It is a dance that animal activists usually will not like because it involves the theatrical depiction on the dance floor of the matador trying to slaughter the bull in combat in a closed corrida, which is usually the man. The lady in the paso doble can represent the cape or the bull or even the matador's shadow. In competition, if you do not show the utmost expression and theatricality in this dance, you lose points--and even worse--you may not make the cut to a further Latin dance heat.
    It means "double step", and it is used as a military march introduction just before the matador enters the corrida. In French, it means "redoubled step" (pas redouble). That is why Paso Doble has some dance moves that are in French, such as the coup de pique (or "sting blow"), or deplacement (getting off place), or "chasse cape" (chased cape), or "la passe" (or "the pass"--so in this case, the bull pass by the matador). The fregolina is another paso move--where the matador makes a circle around the bull passing that person focusing only on the cape to avoid the matador ending up gored or worse.

    This movie is so camp but very entertaining in the same time. I mean you know that in the real world things wouldn't happen that way but you still like to believe they would. That's what made 80s and 90s movies so great.

    The Paso Doble is a very masculine dance. Fran's Father shows Scott how to be a man.

    The funniest part of the movie. Paul wanted their dance to be really idiotical. It looks like they're trying to fly.Not even close to Paso Doble (nor close to getting airborne, for that matter).

    The first time I camped out with friends and not family was when I was fifteen. We marched out into a wood one May evening behind a small man-made pond on vacant property, maybe half a mile from the road that ran through our neighborhood, which itself was surrounded by essentially farmland and the occasional creek or oak hummock alongside a grid of dirt roads. We brought firewood, a radio powered by a photo-flash battery I stole from Dad, and some bagged instant oatmeal for men. I didn't have a tent, and I had made a cocoon out of coat hanger wires and plastic sheeting that mostly kept the dew off me and didn't accomplish much else except possibly confuse raccoons who were unaccustomed to trash that snored.
    Waking up that morning at 4:30am wasn't like anything I had experienced before. 38-degree pre-dawn on hard ground (no sleeping bag, just a throw) made for a dreamless night, and I woke up with an ear flat on the dirt, thinking at first that a thunderstorm was coming. Not because it was meatlocker cold, and not because the dew looked particularly like rainfall.
    What woke me was a noise I was unaccustomed to, something like my eardrum popping. Once at first, again, and then many times over, in increasing frequency and then, just as it turned into a queer buzz -- silence. It wasn't really a sound so much as a tremor in my inner ear, or at least that's what I thought. But then it repeated itself a few times and I sat up so quickly that I blew my plastic cocoon apart with my forehead.
    In the gray mist, while I fumbled for my eyeglasses, the pattern repeated, not echoing, but trembling the ground. Thump, thump-thump. ThuuuummammummamUMMMP! Silence. Sitting up, I could feel it this time jarring the palms of my hands as they held me up, spread flat on the earth. The crescendo was a buzz that made my elbows squeak. It was otherworldly. And felt like it was all around us.
    It did come up later in the day, after we'd packed our stuff and hiked out, with the radio's batteries dead and the oatmeal uneaten because the fire wasn't keen on restarting when it was doused with dew. What I felt tremoring up from the ground was a herd of thirty-odd bison a full mile away, on the grounds of the nature preserve across the tracks from our county park. Buffalo. Before dawn, they were stampeding, but not like in the movies. It sounded almost like they were ... dancing. I guess they did it every morning.
    Looking back at how I used to think of these animals as either two dimensional images from television, or motionless subjects of glossy National Geographic spreads, spiritless and intangible, I don't think I was really ever the same. Very little that I was to see ever since, would even approach such an absolute, gorgeous and genuine mystery.
    As a hopelessly hubristic adult with only so many moments to think back on, I can say I miss that visceral blast of innocent, mortal fear most of all, and now have to seek it each day with every sense I have left.

    What was that "Espana Cani" that Toledo guitarist was doing? I knew that eventually as they danced the paso, and Antonio displayed his flamenco foot tapping skills, the rhythm I heard was Espana-Cani inspired.
