Billy Blanks Jr.'s Dance With Me Shark Tank Pitch
Billy Blanks Jr.'s dad, Billy Blanks, was the creator of Tae bo, the greatest-selling fitness DVD in history. Billy Blanks Jr. and his wife were living out of a motel when Billy Blanks Jr. created a more upbeat routine called Billy Blanks Jr.'s Dance With Me.
Billy Blanks Jr. has two DVDs out in Walmart and other retail stores and is in the process of rolling out four more. Billy wants to open up studios to offer live classes.
Some sharks see the road ahead to be unclear and risky and go out. Daymond has a connection with Zumba that he believes he could use to help Billy Blanks Jr. out, but Billy misunderstands the deal and turns it down. Daymond walks down the hallway after the pitch and closes the deal in the waiting room for the first time in Shark Tank history.
