After years of suffering the same fate, ballroom dancing is enjoying a renaissance of popularity, thanks to the ABC hit - which has avatars in almost every part of the world. Celebrities are clamoring to compete on the show and learning that dancing a tango or a waltz can actually be fun. (And, this being show biz, it is a plus that the brutal training schedule is a great way to drop a few pounds.)
