J.Lo's Ballroom Blitz
Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez can add ballroom dancing to her impressive resume, after taking notes on the set of new movie Shall We Dance? Rather than just turning up and going through the motions with co-star Richard Gere, J.Lo brought her notepad along so she should really learn the new skill. She says, "Just being able to come to work every day and dance is a wonderful experience. We had the top ballroom dancers in the world working on this, so I didn't step on anybody's toes. I was like, 'Teach me, teach me.' I learned a lot." One thing Lopez found out in making the film was just how hard Gere works to nail a part, especially when it involves dancing. She adds, "I was on the last movie and people were telling me, 'Richard's rehearsing eight hours a day, every single day,' and I was like, 'We don't shoot for another four months!'" Gere admits his new co-star, who plays his dance teacher in the film, was incredibly patient with him. He says, "This very intense tango with Jennifer required an enormous amount of generosity and grace from her side."
Lets just hope this wont be another "Gigli"
