Olivia gets kicked in the head

My roommate - who has never actually seen the movie - got addicted to the video to the song "Xanadu" and managed to catch something I miss..

At 32 seconds into the clip you can see the dancer behind Olivia kick her twice in the head...Olivia snaps her head around to look and then continues the song.

Check it out:

Now we are getting somewhere.

Edit: after watching this scene it is clear that the dancer's foot does not hit Olivia's head. Olivia simply looks behind her right after the dancer does a high kick. If they had made contact Olivia's head and shoulders would have moved suddenly in response and the dancer would most likely have been thrown off balance....neither happened

It is just the camera angle that makes the foot appear to pass close bv.

Oh Lord, you gave them eyes but they cannot see...

Does this occur before the film is released? or afterward?
