Lisa Rinna to Open Dance Studio  3/20/06

Former Melrose Place star Lisa Rinna became so obsessed with ballroom dancing during her stint on US TV show Dancing With the Star, she is opening her own dance studio.

The actress is re-teaming with her professional partner from the show, Louis Van Amstel, to open a studio in Los Angeles.

She says, "I was so moved by (the experience) that it has to be part of my life.

"It transformed my body, it's fun and invigorating."

The star convinced Van Amstel to move to Los Angeles from Utah and they are now hunting for the perfect space.

They hope to open the studio in the next three months.

Rinna adds, "Who knows? We might expand to other cities."
