Dance facilities are seeing a 30 percent plus increase in their business due to the hit series Dancing with the Stars.

Bob was terrified of dancing. He thought it was for sissies.

Eggs have no business dancing with stones

I think it's an entirely new idea. People were dancing before I came into the nightclub business but I still did something that had never been done before. 50 Gramercy Park North is a new kind of hotel, and not the kind people will be expecting from me. I am hoping to have the same impact with it that I had 20 years ago.

At first I was nervous and scared. It took five or six lessons before I thought there was a glimmer at the end of my tunnel.

I love my job. It is hugely rewarding, because I have the opportunity to share the gift of dance with people who never thought they could do it.
