* ArtisticLicenseArt: In real life, any ballet company doing more than a one-off gala performance of ''Swan Lake'' (or any ballet at all!) will have multiple casts, with dancers alternating performances -- and this is especially true for a ballet like ''Swan Lake'', which is so strenuous on the leads. In real life, Nina would have been one of several dancers assigned to perform the role.[[note]]For reference, for a six-show run of ''Swan Lake'', the famed New York City Ballet cast no less than ''three'' of its principal dancers to perform the role -- for only six shows![[/note]] Going along with this, the idea that a company would only have one principal female dancer is absurd -- most of the world-class companies have close to a dozen. But not in Hollywoodland.
