Hi there everybody!
I have some questions regarding dance sequences in films. As you must have seen in various movies, there are times when characters engage in enchanting moves, be them couple dances or group ones. I've been wondering a lot:
Thanks!
I have some questions regarding dance sequences in films. As you must have seen in various movies, there are times when characters engage in enchanting moves, be them couple dances or group ones. I've been wondering a lot:
- For couple dances, did the actors have to practice a lot for filming, even if it's a popular move?
- About traditional group dance (like where 2 romantic protagonists pass through a list of partners before having brief contact with each other, only to be parted some moments later), well, are there identical dances in real life? Or all of those in films have to be invented and carefully choreographed?
- Regarding the prospect of us doing it. Can we just, like, walk up to a beautiful girl (or handsome guy... have to be politically correct these days), offer them a dance, get accepted, and then move in perfect or at least good harmony? IMO, the last part is the hard part, but I don't have a lot of dancing experience anyway. If it's possible, then what are the conditions for it? I mean, that actual dance must be very popular so everyone knows about it, and the moves must be pretty easy, right?
Thanks!
