Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra would rather use the downtime between films to brush up on her dance steps than act in mediocre movies, a newspaper reported Monday.

Chopra had two hits this year - Krrish and Don, and has said she plans to take a break before shooting another two movies next year.

Priyanka said juggling between four to six movies a year is not her style.

"I'd much rather work on myself. I want to do Latin, contemporary, salsa, jazz, whatever," she told a leading newspaper.

"That excites me. Any new skill would be an asset to me as an actress," she added.

A former Miss World, Chopra said the movie scripts she had seen recently did not grab her attention.

"Better hone my skills than do bad films," she said.

"I don't want to rush into anything," she added.
