Julia Stiles has been associated for 25 years with one of the most memorable dances in 2000s cinema. 💃 Now, as she prepares to compete on Dancing with the Stars alongside Ezra Sosa, she wanted to clarify how much of Save the Last Dance she actually did herself.

The actress explained that she trained intensely to play Sara, but that a body double handled some of the most complex sequences. She also cleared up another myth that still circulates among fans: she never studied or auditioned for Juilliard; that story belonged to her character.

Now, at 45, Stiles is facing a dance floor once again, this time without the magic of Hollywood body doubles. 💃😳
