In the drama, Song Kang is acting as a ballet dancer and there are a lot of scenes in the drama where we see him fly, do pirouettes and pointe, and much more. Many viewers wonder if the actor was acting these ballet scenes by himself, and maybe you too?Song Kang had learned ballet for 6 months prior to the filming. He mentioned that he focused on the lines and details more than high-level or professional skills. The actor also constantly monitored videos to be able to do natural ballet scenes and he practiced his facial expressions too.The choreographer who was in charge of coaching the ballet to the two actors (Song Kang and Park InHwan) explained that Song Kang had excellent flexibility, jumping ability, and acquisition skills.Even if the actor learned ballet, it would be of course impossible for him to learn in 6 months as his character ChaeRok has been learning for years (even if he started ballet later than others). Moreover, ChaeRok is a very talented ballet dancer.The production team used a stunt double for the hard moves and expert figures. If you pay extra attention to the way it was filmed, you can tell the scene zoomed in and focused on the dance’s moves (where you can’t see the face of Song Kang) these are most likely to be done by the stunt actor.Your browser does not support the video tag.Your browser does not support the video tag.Your browser does not support the video tag.Your browser does not support the video tag.Like Song Kang, Park InHwan also learned ballet for 6 months prior to the filming. The choreographer in charge mentioned that the actor had a hard time turning, jumping, and memorizing the new words En Bas, Jeté, etc.To reduce the burden on the actor, they filmed the upper and lower parts of his body separately. The production team also used a stunt actor for the actor and in the latter part of the drama, they even used computer graphics.For these kinds of roles that require expert skills, it is common to use a double stunt. Nevertheless, Song Kang is doing an amazing job and even took time to learn ballet despite his hectic schedule. Park InHwan is also incredible for learning ballet at his age (76 years old) as seen in the drama it is challenging and painful. “Itaewon Class” Fact Check: Is There Racial Discrimination At Club Entrance In Korea?
