Thanks for posting. I've heard of some of the NYers like Eddie & Lourdes, Pierre & Yvonne and Miguel. I think I danced with Lourdes once at Hustle USA. She was a judge. I remember seeing Miguel social dance a few times too.
The show on BBC was Come Dancing and later revived as Strictly Come Dancing with Len Goodman which inspired the US version of DWTS - Dancing with the Stars.
