:03:00
My arm hurts.
:03:02
Take your position next to her.
:03:05
Five, four, three, two.
:03:10
No, not yet. Five, six, ready, go!
:03:13
One, three, five, ladies.
:03:16
One, two, three, four, five, six.
:03:19
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.

:04:01
Five, six, seven, and...
:04:03
back, two, three, four, walk in, seven, eight.
:04:07
Back, two, three, four, walk in, seven, eight.
:04:11
Back, two, three, she turns.
:04:12
Five, six, seven, yes!
:04:14
Give yourselves a round of applause.
:04:17
So, what happens is
everyone knows the merengue...

:04:19
feels very comfortable with it.
:04:20
But then I start seeing some sloppy things.
:04:23
Can I show you? Sloppy arms.
Are you ready?

:04:28
What am I doing wrong?
:04:31
- Yes, sir.
- You're waking up the people on top.

:04:33
I'm waking up the people
on top of the hotel, right?

:04:35
Upstairs, remember, hands on the hips?
:04:37
Upstairs, people are sleeping.
Down here, the party's going on.

:04:40
Remember in the beginning,
we all thought...

:04:41
Remember in the beginning,
we all thought...

:04:43
that the dances were going to be
really hard, but it was mad easy?

:04:47
It wasn't weird to me...
:04:49
because I seen them a lot,
'cause my nanny does them.

:04:53
And Ronnie even knows
because when he was over...

:04:55
my nanny was helping us do the foxtrot.
:04:58
So, it wasn't, like, weird to me.
It got easier and easier.
