All right. So, can I have the gentlemen
tuck their shirts in, please?
:02:04

:02:09
You don't have to
take off your pants to do it.
:02:29
One, two, pronounce: Merengue.
:02:32
Who knows what country
merengue came from?
:02:36
- Italy?
- Okay.
:02:38
- Dominican Republic.
- Absolutely. What's your name?
:02:41
Nile.
:02:43
Dominican Republic, ladies and gentlemen.
:02:45
Gentlemen, take your partner, please.
:02:49
Elbows together. Okay, make yourself taller.
:02:53
Very good, very good.
:02:55
It's okay, it's okay. He will help you.
:02:57
- I don't know how...
- He'll remember. Let me help you.

:03:16
One, two, three, four, five, six.

Keep going. One, two...
:03:21
I'll be honest with you.
:03:22
I didn't know that I wanted
to go ahead with ballroom dancing.
:03:24
But, I decided, yeah, we'll just give it
a shot and I'll see how it goes...
:03:28
and it was a tough year
because it was after 9/11.
:03:30
So, we didn't get back to our building
until February, this started in March.
:03:34
But, it seemed like, "Oh, well,
something positive has to come out of this. "
:03:37
And these kids need something uplifting.
:03:40
Although, I'm not such a great fan of,
you know, hard competition and winning...
:03:44
but I was thrilled with the outcome,
and that's why we're still doing it.
