14 DAY TRIAL // Jessica Alba is set to reprise her “Sin City” role, that of exotic dancer Nancy Callahan, on August 22, in the film’s sequel, “A Dame to Kill For.” As you can see from the trailer below, she still has the same maddening dance moves and the same insanely fit figure.
As you can probably imagine, neither came to her easily, or as she was sitting on her couch in front of the television. Dance instructor Jennifer “JJ Dancer” Johnson tells People magazine that she has Jessica working her backside off, both to get in proper shape and to learn the choreography for the film.
Just as important as learning the moves was to get Alba to feel the music so that she could freestyle whenever she felt confident enough.
“We just started to move to the music, and we were getting her used to the sensuality and moving around in heels in the beginning. Then we started choreographing routines on her body. She would bring songs, I would bring songs – some were rock, some were sad, some were edgy, but they were all [hot],” Johnson explains.
Training sessions took place daily and would last anywhere from 2 to 5 hours. With this kind of strenuous physical exercise, it’s no wonder Jessica managed to make her already banging figure even more banging.
After the birth of her second child, the star intensified her workouts, which has helped her maintain her ideal weight. She might not get too many headlines these days for her acting career but, whenever she hits the beach for some R&R, she’s bound to make it on the first page of many glossies because of her amazing figure.
In other words, Johnson had good “material” to work with.
Her most important piece of advice in this interview is that dancing (be it on the pole or not) is perfect to help you tone your muscles, but also to help you have confidence in yourself. It can give you a proper workout to burn away those extra pounds, infuse you with energy and make you feel good about yourself.
“The secret to have a great bod and not having to kill yourself to look good is eating right. That’s a strong point of Jess'. She's motivated nutritionally, and she eats a balanced diet of salads and proteins. If you're eating right, that’s more than half the battle,” Johnson stresses.
Here’s a brief glimpse of Jessica in “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.” More will be available this summer with the movie, if not in a new trailer.
