Actress Naomi Watts says she took advantage of her dance scenes in comedy-drama film `While We're Young` to show off her moves.

The 46-year-old admits she indulged her inner dancer in `While We're Young`, in which she played a middle-aged wife wanting to revisit her younger days.

`I have a bit of a frustrated dancer in me. I've always loved dance,` news.com.au quoted Watts as saying.

`Dance was one of the things that led me to acting even though I say I fell in love with acting fairly early on... Around 16 and 17, I got heavily into dance but I think I just came into it too late and I was never going to be really great at it, so I let it go and the dance led to more acting classes,` she added.

Watts gets to show off her skills when her character Cornelia, who is married to Ben Stiller's Josh, joins a hip-hop class.

Directed by Noah Baumbach, `While We're Young` released in US on March 27, and it will release in India on May 1.
