At the beginning of the "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" episode "Wedding Bella Blues", the USS company is preparing for a large gala to celebrate the centenary of the Federation's formation. The company is under repair in the previous few months after the breakup with Gorn, so everyone had time to relax. However, Spack (Ethan Peck) is considered concerned; Although he is a volcano dedicated to emotionality, he reveals that he still has feelings for the nurse Capella (Ess Bush), he is currently far from the company on vacation. The chapel should come back every day now, and Spack, perhaps illogical, is nervous.

To distract, he decided to prepare for the gala by learning to dance. Fortunately, his associate, chief of security Lieutenant Laan Nonien-Sing (Christina Chong)He has a wide range of dancing training and is more than ready to give him lessons. Spack is an open -minded student, but perhaps predictable, it's too hard for dancing. Laan must teach him to untie the whole body. The volcanoes usually don't dance, you see. But then, not even Laan. This is the side of her that fans have not yet seen. Laan seems to maintain his dance skills well hidden most of the time.

For Trekkies, the Spack Dance Lesson will immediately evoke the episode of "Star Trek: Next Generation" "Data Day" (January 7, 1991). In that episode, the data (Brent Spinner) are invited to the wedding of Chief O'Brien (Colm Mini) and his fiancée Keiko (Rosalind Chao). The data do not know little about weddings, but they have learned that dancing is needed. Android is looking for dance lessons from his associate Dr. Krusher (Gates McFaden). Like Laan, Dr. Krusher did not allow many people to know that she had broad dancing training. She did not want to be known as "Doctor of Dance".

It is clear that the creators of the "wedding bellvon blues" saw "Data Day" and were happy to pay tribute. It probably helped both "strange new worlds" and "next generation" happened to have two professional dancers on their castes.

To remind readers, Gates McFadenEarly in her career, he was a dancer, a coach for movement and choreographer. She studied movement with Qesaak Lecoc and was part of the entire clown clown group in a Newouper called Comedy Del Pinki. McFaden also worked with Muppets, serving as a choreographer and "Muppets take Manhattan" and "Labyrinth". If someone carefully looks at the "labyrinth" behind the scenes Included in the editions of home-video-video, it can be seen that McFaden gives instructions. (Then she was credited as Cheryl McFaden, walking her true first name.)

McFaden was not asked to do a lot of dancing like Dr. Krusher, so "Data Day" seemed to benefit the actress. The writers of "Next Generation" have found an organic way to allow McFaden to dance on a camera. It was just for one episode - Dr. Krusher never had to dance again - but Trekis now knew that McFaden was a talented dancer, despite being an actress.

Christina Chong also has a background in the dance, but the one who doesn't have to use it often while working on Star Trek. Jong attended a dance school as a teenager and then the College of Performing Arts. She aimed to be a full -time dancer, and just turned to the acting lessons after the injury temporarily stopped her dancing ambitions. By 2008 She soon accepted jobs with a higher profile in films like "We", "Johnoni English Reborn" and even "Starwells War: The Strength Wakes", though her second scenes were cut. She was also in TV shows such as "Doctor Who", "Black Mirror" and "24" "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" was another feather in her hat.

But of course, she didn't have to dance much ... until now. Laan lecturing Spack to dance not only evoked "Data Day", but also served the same feature behind the scenes. Both dance sequences allowed experienced dancers to show a little.
