8. Dakota Becomes A Ballerina

During the last two weeks of filming in France during 2016, Dakota started training for her next film role, which is to be a ballerina. Dakota became a magnificent ballerina. Her body was in perfect shape for the role, however, the dance moves are something she had to learn anew. Just because she was in perfect physical shape, did not necessarily mean that she could spin around on the tips of her toes. Anyone, who has tried this, knows it really hurts. Dakota learned how to do it for the role.

If she was going to learn to be a ballerina for a film role, the perfect place to do this was in France. At the end of filming the Shades of Grey films, Dakota started practicing to become the character of Susie Bannion for the film entitled Suspira. Suspira is in the genres of fantasy, horror, and suspense. It is currently in post-production to be released sometime in the future.

Dakota also had a significant presence in films like The Five-Year Engagement, Beastly, and Goats.
