While at a party in Seville, Spain, a troupe of flamenco dancers puts on a show. Ethan Hunt sees Nyah, they look at each other and are moving around the stage area. A dancer spins and Nyah disappears. She’s headed upstairs to steal a Bulgari necklace.

The dance scene itself was influenced by the dance at the gym in “West Side Story”. Director John Woo put it this way: “The idea came from West Side Story. I want to make a very sexy love-at-first-sight moment”.
