All of the instructors who saw it said they loved it. We've been waiting for ballroom to become what it should have been a long time ago.

We joke around with our students that ballroom is the most inexpensive form of marriage counseling. We watch couples come in who didn't even know (they had a problem), and in two or three weeks you start to see the language change — playfulness comes back into it.

It was really a big momentum shift. Even though it just ties it up, it's a game-winner.

You can't get anywhere in life without taking risks.

I think if we could have kept the game close, we'd have had a shot because we were having good at-bats. We thought we'd be a little farther along. The good news is there are a lot of games ahead.

I'm not a gambler. But it gets to a point where you got to draw the line.
