(bright fiddle music) - Even nowadays, dances, whether that's in a nightclub or as a teenager at like a party, feel high stakes because love and romance is always high stakes, essentially, and there's butterflies and tension and rivalry, and who knows what's going to happen?
- Miss Heywood.
(bright fiddle music) Permit me the honor of the first dance.
(bright fiddle music) - She would be delighted.
- Lennox has chosen this particular social event as being the apex of their relationship where he's going to propose.
Things feel like they're going swimmingly for him, and he's getting away with it.
So this would just be the sort of icing the cake, really.
(bright fiddle music) - The choreography's different in the dance I have with Lennox to the dance I have with Colbourne.
The dance and the music with Lennox is a lot more structured and traditional, which kind of reflects him as an officer, and his personality being quite angular.
The dance with Colbourne, there's a lot more flow to it, and it gives Charlotte and Colbourne an opportunity to experience a level of intimacy that they haven't before.
(somber violin music) - We wanted to make sure that this was a really magical, special moment.
And I think it was really amazing choreography by the choreographer Sammy.
- During the scene where I actually see Rose and Ben, and I see them dancing together, I'm so supposed to be, you know, seething, but it was a really, really beautiful dance.
I thought they did an amazing job.
I was actually quite taken by it.
- Ben worked really hard on that dance, to be fair.
He practiced loads.
Ben practiced loads and loads and loads.
- Might have been one of my favorite days when we did the ball scene.
What's great is that you can tell so much story without words.
And when you have a lot of scenes with a lot of words, just being able to tell a story with your hands or a look is amazing.
