If you're on <a href="http://twitter.com/Phierce">Twitter</a>, I'll be requesting suggestions for a challenge. Give me a show, movie, song or work of art to draw inspiration from, and I'll put together a look.

Featuring live music, from the Viennese Waltz to Modern Pop, and a cast of dancers holding about 100 dance titles collectively, it seems no city is safe from this thrill ride. You may even get to see your favorite dancers from <a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars?partner=rm&cid=KNC-rm+dwts_season_9+google+dancing_with_the_stars">Dancing with the Stars</a> and <a href="http://www.fox.com/dance/">So You Think You Can Dance</a>!</p> <p>Watching the footage on Burn the Floor's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/BurnTheFloorVideo">YouTube channel</a>, I created a look that celebrates motion of the human body and the sensuous nature of dance. Take over the dance floor as the sueded fringe of the skirt swishes back and forth with your hips. Flick your wrists and feet as they catch the light, your Blu Bijoux Black Cougar Bangle chasing after your Marc by Marc Jacobs Fancy Mouse Ring. Keep the makeup light and natural, hair free flowing and go in for the kill!</p> <p >Read more about the history of Burn the Floor and choreographer Jason Gilkison on <a href="http://www.broadway.com/buzz/jason-gilkison-burn-floor-and-ballroom-renaissance/">Broadway.com</a>.

How many people can create a product that women will practically kill each other for when they hit the clearance bin? At 66 years of age, he is as vibrant and full of energy as ever.
