Suri Loves Ballet! "She's Great at It," Says Mom Katie Holmes

Proud mama gushes over daughter's dance skills. Plus, she talks about playing Jackie Kennedy

Just call her Suri the Ballerina.

Katie Holmes tells me that her and Tom Cruise's little one is quite the dancer...

"She loves ballet," the proud mama said today at Variety's Power of Women Luncheon, where she was honored for her work with the Dizzy Feet Foundation. "She's great at it."

So Suri's got some rhythm?

"Oh, yeah," Holmes said. "She really does."

Meanwhile, Holmes says "it was wonderful" playing Jacqueline Kennedy in the History Channel's upcoming miniseries The Kennedys. "I did a lot of research," she said. "I watched everything that I could get my hands on and read everything I could get my hands on and just gave it my best shot."

Greg Kinnear plays JFK, with Barry Pepper as his brother Bobby and Tom Wilkinson as the political dynasty's patriarch, Joe Sr.

The Kennedys is set to premiere sometime next year.
