These two cultural dances insist on the comparison between the styles. The flamenco dance style integrates principals from Bharathanatyam. Anything joined will be a risk but no one knows how it will come but we will just show the root styles, combination and difference present in it says Ramnarayan.

The accent of the Indian dance is that a narration of a story in the show. Surely it will be quite interesting to watch over it. Totally there will be 17 performances in which when the Spanish music is played flamenco dance will be performed and when the Indian music is played Bharathantyam dance will be performed. Then there will be the combination of both the dance.

The biggest challenge of this show is the costume and music because this is the first combination so there is no song for it, so only the live musicians are presented. The costumes will be quite different for the dance styles. Hence they have decided the costumes which look similar enough to show the cultural connection.
