CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA - As one of the first celebrity teachers when the Dancing With The Stars first debuted, Nick Kosovich is no stranger to TV.  As a two time United States Ballroom Champion, World Ballroom Champion, and celebrated Arthur Murray consultant, Nick Kosovich had a chance to show Julie Moran, from the Lifetime network, how to dance at the Arthur Murray in Coral Gables, Florida.

When Nick isn't teaching ballroom and latin dancing on television, he's traveling the world as an Arthur Murray consultant, working as an award winning choreographer, designing dancewear with his wife, Lena, for their company LeNique, or being a Dad to his daughter, Amelia.  Read more about Nick Kosovich here.  

On the other end of the pairing, Julie Moran is no slouch herself.

"Julie Moran was the primary substitute anchor, weekend anchor, and senior correspondent for the #1 magazine-style TV show in syndication, Entertainment Tonight, produced by Paramount Domestic Television.

In addition to her hosting duties, Moran covered a signature weekly segment “ET One to One with Julie Moran,” which featured high-profile celebrity interviews and exclusive access to television and film sets.

Moran’s entertainment expertise led her to co-hosting the highly-rated and prestigious Academy Awards pre-show for ABC in 2001.

Moran joined Entertainment Tonight on May 5, 1994 at its New York bureau as the New York anchor and correspondent. That year she was also named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People.”

The Dancing With A Star

In addition to a dance lesson, the pair also talk about the benefits of dancing, and learning at an Arthur Murray Dance Studio.  Julie dances and shows her poise as a TV personality, and former pageant contestant. Once in costume, she immediately takes on the look of a celebrity on any of the dance tv shows. All that was left was some exciting ballroom dancing. Nick teaches Julie how to cha-cha and Tango, and as the pair get moving one thing is apparent:  this is not your average sit down interview.  

Although the piece was shot for the Lifetime network in 2013, it's still a timeless example of the constantly emerging hobby of ballroom dancing. 

Final Thought

Everyone is busy.  It's hard to carve out time to invest in yourself.  Yet here they were, two television personalities, two busy people, both parents, juggling a variety of responsibilities, and yet... they still make time for a little Tango. Not bad.
