Natalie Portman's dance performances in Black Swan are among Hollywood's most renowned. However, not all is on-screen magic—Portman trained for months in ballet performances to perfect her role. Such performances were indeed so authentic that she even clinched an Oscar for it. Since Black Swan, Portman has had her feet wet in other work comprised of dance-related projects, such as her role in V for Vendetta, when the choreography in martial arts also resembled rhythmic flow. Her commitment to the art form is beyond impressive.
