“I needed to do a bit of work because I’m not the best dancer, but after working with a choreographer throughout the process, it’s coming along nicely,” said Rance.

“I don’t mind a bit of acting as it’s always good fun to be in front of the camera.

“I’ll probably leave dancing to the professionals, but I might do a bit more of acting in the future.”

The film’s release on Friday coincides with the launch of Habitus luxury townhomes.

It is a gentleman’s wager-inspired short film, offering the first glimpse of the upcoming Habitus development in South Melbourne.

“When I saw the inspiration clip for the Habitus mini movie, it had a bit of Jude Law swagger and I thought I could maybe pull it off,’’ Rance said.

“The guys on set have been so good in helping me and making me feel comfortable, so it’s been a really great experience.”
