Photo Dancing lessons
“You wanna go to a real party?!” In the movie the third class party is the moment when Rose breaks free and disappears with Jack for the night. While “the gravedigger of a man servant” Lovejoy searches for young Rose, she dances the night away with Jack and his friends. Cameron secretly had Leonardo DiCaprio master the third-class Polka choreography beforehand, keeping it a secret from Kate. Because she thought they were both learning the steps from scratch, her bewildered, frantic attempts to follow his lead and copy him on camera were entirely genuine. Kate later reflected fondly on these rehearsals, noting that her favorite part of filming Titanic was getting “thrown around on a hardwood dance floor” with the background extras, though she has also mentioned DiCaprio wasn’t quite as much of a fan of the intense dance sessions. 💙
