Ballroom dance business

The Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Hanover gave up its franchise, but not its web address.
I congratulate Christine Harvey and Douglas Banks for going into independent status, but I wonder if they can get away with the photos of Fred Astaire on the website and the FADS address now standing for Finesse Academy of DanceSport. Maybe the DanceSport lawyers are ready to go to bat for them. That's the upcoming, tons of videos, franchise, and must be less expensive.
I note Tony Dovolani is listed as a visiting teacher. That could be fun!
On Cape Cod, Ballroom Bliss was advertising their teaching of a specific syllabus, DVIDA, and I wondered if they were taking the seminars in Las Vegas. Lately there is no mention of DVIDA, so probably not.
