I Can't Dance: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

* An episode of ''[[Firefly]]'' was supposed to use this trope, with Mal unable to keep up with Inara during a formal dance, but the final product did not have the desired effect. Nathan Fillion and Morena Baccarin spent so much time rehearsing the scene that Nathan competently learned the entire dance and was not able to reproduce his previous clumsy efforts. Eventually, [[Joss Whedon]] decided to insert a line in post-production with Mal saying that this was a dance he actually knew, instead of re-shooting the scene and creating a mishap.

* An episode of ''[[Chuck]]'', where the eponymous character must learn to dance in order to get close to the Terrorist of the Week. I think it was even titled "Chuck Vs. The Tango."

* In ''[[Legend of the Seeker]],'' Cara has to pretend to be a princess to rescue Kahlan. When trying to learn the dance, this trope comes into play. As one recap put it "Cara rather adorably turns what was probably a waltz into krumping."
