Behind the Scenes: Scene Facts: A Real Party
- The band is portrayed by Gaelic Storm of Santa Monica, California.
- This scene was choreographed by Lynne Hockney, who was also the film's etiquette coach. Other than the principle actors, the scene boasts mostly professional dancers.
- Rose pulls off her high heeled shoes to dance with Jack (note, the second in Rose's symbolic stripping of clothing).
- This is another "foot shot" - a Cameron trademark.
- Winslet, a trained dancer, required the least work with the choreographer; DiCaprio, the most.
- Rose goes en pointe, and fascinates the crowd. This scene took a few days to accomplish, and a lot of work. Originally Cameron decided to hook Winslet into a harness and hoist her into the air. Unsatisfied with the way this appeared on film, Cameron tried everything in the book to accomplish this scene. Eventually a dancer was called upon to perform this scene, and she was spliced into Kate's body.
- Winslet has stated that this scene was her favorite to film because it reminded her of her childhood. DiCaprio has stated that this was one of the worst.
- There was a scene cut after this one where Jack walks Rose back to her cabin. On the way they see a shooting star and Jack remarks that his father believed that was a soul on its way to heaven. Because this scene was cut you miss the symbolism later in the movie when Rose is on the debris, she is looking at the stars and a shooting star can be spotted. Read that scene
