Body Wrappers® dance apparel is once again the featured wardrobe for the dancers on the newest Dancing with the Stars: Latin Cardio Dance DVD being release by Lionsgate September 16, 2008. The Body Wrappers logo appears on the jacket cover of the DVD as a sponsor.

On the new DVD Dancing with the Stars two time champion Cheryl Burke is featured wearing Body Wrappers scarlet bra style # 760 (tucks added) with the #7894 10-Way mesh skirt, the black Glitter Magic #T7031 baseball top with the black convertible ruffle skirt style # 8175 and the scarlet bra #760 with the black #223 shrug and the black #0691 low rise pants. Other dancers are featured in the black spider mock neck top style # 7774 with the black mesh insert double strap bra # 474 underneath with the scarlet ruffle skirt # 8175. Also featured on the dancers is the reversible scarlet/violet halter # 7874 or the gold 308 bra with the black # 0691 low rise pants.

“Dancing with the Stars” the # 1 rated TV series produced by BBC Worldwide America, has become a television phenomenon, and Lionsgate’s 2007 release of Dancing with the Stars: Cardio Dance became the best-selling fitness DVD that year as well as 2008. This September release is a much anticipated follow up dance program timed to coincide with the season seven premiere on ABC. The program features two of the show’s professional dancers, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and two-time Dancing with the Stars champion Cheryl Burke, demonstrating four sizzling and sexy Latin dance routines that include some of the best fat-burning moves from the show. Viewers also get a specialized toning workout that dancers use to sculpt and lengthen their muscles.

The program, which is broken down into six customizable workouts, includes a 5-minute warm-up, 10-minute choreographed dance routines of the Cha, Samba, Mambo and Merengue and a 5-minute cool-down. After accomplishing these fat-blasting moves, viewers can shake things up by trying the bonus dancer’s toning workout. The DVD is packaged in a metallic gold O-card and is available on September 16, 2008 for the suggested retail price of $16.98.

Body Wrappers® Launches Premiere Collection for Ballet

New York City_____Body Wrappers the American manufacturer of dance and team apparel is launching a new brand called Premiere Collection, which has been exclusively designed for the career ballet dancer.

The Premiere Collection will consist of leotards, warm-ups and cover-ups and was designed with the idea of providing the perfect fitting leotards and coordinates with full attention paid to all areas of fit, construction and inner treatments to enhance the way a dancer feels.

Marie West the President and founder of Body Wrappers says, "This beautiful and fully functional brand of ballet apparel is personally a great achievement for me. After talking with many career dancers I learned that there was an opportunity to supply them with a product that simply was not available to them. I set out with the goal of developing a leotard that would not ride up and one that provided the correct support where needed. With the new Premiere Collection, I am confident that Body Wrappers has done just that."

The Premiere Collection is available in adult sizes x-small, small, medium, large and tall and will be available to the retailer for ordering January 2004 and then shipping will begin for a March delivery.
