But he didn't let a hurricane get in the way of being there for the birth of his first child.
"Dan made it through all obstacles to make it back to the U.S. for the birth of his beautiful baby girl," says another source close to the choreographer.
“He improvised,” according to the source. "When the hurricane closed New York City airports, Dan took a flight to Washington, D.C. and then drove home through the storm."
"He's thrilled to be a dad," sayshis rep, adding that he's already flown back to Amsterdam to be on the judging panel for Friday's live episode of Holland's Got Talent.
