It's no small feat for dancers to condense their years of training into a few months to teach an actor their craft. But it is helpful when your student is JLo.
Months of prep and a rotating pole went into making her opening dance sequence, says choreographer Johanna Sapakie.
Lopez demonstrates this skill set with precision in one of the film's standout scenes — a moment that caught the attention and praise of critics and audiences. In her onscreen introduction, Ramona, wearing a bedazzled leotard, saunters onto the stage at the strip club, with a packed house of male clients eagerly throwing down bills as she shimmies, sashays and straddles the pole to the sultry beats of Fiona Apple's 1997 hit "Criminal.
"Once the decision was made and she's like, 'I want to pull dance in this film and I I need to look legitimate,' it was like, 'Okay, let's do what we need to do and put in the time to make it happen,'" says Sapakie. Poles were installed in Lopez’s homes in Miami, Los Angeles and New York so she could train in between her busy schedule, which included prep for her It's My Party concert tour.
"[The song] feels so deep and growly and powerful, and the vocal is this smooth, sensual sound. That felt like it really fit," Sapakie says. "It was something about those drums at the beginning. It was just so Ramona."
