The Ritualist's Dance - I know it!

Hey guys,

sorry to spam this forum, but it just hit where where I know the Rt's dance from:

It's that dance the dance instructor in the cheerleader/romantic comedy movie Bring It On! wants to teach the girls.

The really funny part about it is that what he's doing with his hands at the beginning of the dance routine is called "spirit fingers" -- get it? Rt -> spirit spells -> spirit fingers *LOL*

Sorry, needed to share this amusing discovery (hope it hasn't already been posted -- if so: sorry!).

oo interesting, i liked that film, kirsten was soo hot when i first watched that. oh well :-)

finally!!! Thanks a lot

Heh heh, you're welcome.

@ Rebirther: Pfft, Kirsten Dunst! I preferred Eliza Dushku.

That movie was hilarious...

I don't think I've seen that movie, but the male ritualist is doing a perfect re-enactment of Napolean Dynomite's dance. They could be the same, of course...

No he's not. I just watched that piece of dreck last night, and it's not the same dance.

No, it's definitely Napoleon Dynamite

definetly from napoleon dynamite

Perhaps it is a combination of both, but mostly Napoleon Dynamite?

I am pretty sure it is from "Bring It On!", but to make sure I'll check my DVD and post the result here.

BTW, it could be that they copied ND's dance in the movie, though I haven't got the slightest idea who NP is.

Yes it is, I've watched that dance scene at least 50 times. It is the same.

Are you talking "Bring It On" or "Napoleon Dynamite" here?

its gotta be Napoleon...anyone who has seen that movie withen 6 months or more would recognize that

There ya go, one perfect Male Ritualists dance.

Okay, I just checked the "Bring It On!" DVD.

You guys were right, this isn't exactly the same dance, although it bears a certain resemblance (the beginning and the spirit fingers ).

As a European, I have never heard of "Napoleon Dynamite", but I guess it must be from there then. Is the funny choreograhoper from "Bring It On!" a parody of him?

Um spirit hands? It's actually called jazz hands.

Here's another copy of the Napoleon Dance:

There's really no argument...

In "Bring It On!" it's called spirit fingers. And "Bring It On!" is years older than "Napoleon Dynamite".

Like I said, at first it reminded me of "Bring It On!", since I never saw "Napoleon Dynamite".

So, "Napoleon Dynamite" must have stolen it from somewhere, since I am 100% certain that I've seen it before.

Flashdance, I believe.
