BoA begins to fall for acting in "Make Your Move"

The energy that comes from that small figure of hers is amazing. Singer BoA's first lead dance movie "Make Your Move" keeps her moving. She's seen banging on the drums like crazy, then engaging into intense tap dance routines.

BoA falls in love with Donny (Derek Hough). The intimate couple dance they perform is also something to check out. BoA said, "Derek is also a dancer so I realized I'd be competitive with him. We also fought when we were sensitive about the dangerous lifting scenes. We were all tense because if someone were to a mistake, anyone could have gotten hurt. Our passion for dancing maximized the synergy. And thankfully, no one got hurt".

"I am confident about my dancing but I had to learn drums and modern dancing for the movie. Dancing for a scene required a lot of physical energy as well. However, I got my emotions to pull through as we continued to repeat takes".

It's been 14 years since BoA became a solo singer; although, she's not used to couple dancing. "I couldn't imagine someone touching me and dancing with heavy breathing that is so close to me. It took some time to get used to it. However, I did learn something fun about dancing". She used the moves from the movie in her self-written and self-composed song called "Only One".

Working with Derek was important. "I wondered if an Asian like me and a white guy would look fine together. I am happy to hear that we do. I am quite shy but Derek was very open and active. It was awkward at first but he approached me and we got close real easily. I think that's why our dancing was great, too".

"I had my first kiss scene in this movie. We were on a tight schedule so we had to hurry. I was in a rush rather than kissing well. Thankfully, since we had gotten comfortable with each other, we were able to finish it in only a couple of takes".

- The bed scene was also sublimed with a dance. They dance together in Derek's room and naturally move to bed. There was no exposure.

BoA said she learned the fun factor of acting throughout the movie. "I've gotten many offers for me to act, but I still have to focus on music. I wouldn't have done "Make Your Move" if it was a typical movie. I've always wanted to try a dance movie. I wasn't able to show my real dance moves because in the past, I had to sing and dance at the same time. It was my chance to really show everyone what I can really do".

"It's a dance movie. I am happy to hear that I put on a great performance. I worked hard to make sure I didn't burden anyone else".

BoA will be acting and singing in the future. She starred in the KBS 2TV drama "Hope for Love". She's currently filming "Big Match" with Lee Jung-jae. BoA said, "Everything would be perfect now if I had someone to love".
