Billy Blanks Jr., the once homeless son of American fitness guru and Tae Bo legend Billy Blanks, appeared on ABC's "Shark Tank" on Friday to ask the "sharks" to invest on the new dance nfitness program he and his wife Sharon created.

The couple's dance fitness program is called "Dance With Me," which is said to be a total body, high energy, cardio dance workout that incorporates more than 20 styles of dances including Hip Hop, Bollywood, Line Dancing, Ballroom, Disco, 80’s, Broadway, African, Russian, Irish, Hula and many more. One session will reportedly let one burn 500-1100 calories.

"The weight loss results have been tremendous but nothing is as overwhelming as the energy and positivity from the students," the Mr. and Mrs. Blanks wrote on their website. "Unlike most intimidating dance/fitness classes,  Dance With Me is a non-judgmental supportive environment where students of all fitness levels, ages, shapes and sizes have the time of their lives while getting fit."

Billy Blanks Jr. and Sharon Blanks have reportedly been working together as dance and fitness instructors for 12 years now.
