This light-footed volume of 1000 light-hearted quotations is a tongue-in-cheek-to-cheek tribute to dance on television. 

As the title suggests, this fun-packed book focuses on the first nine seasons of Dancing With The Stars. It reveals an amusing aspect of the show through the words of celebrity and professional dancers, judges, hosts, fans and the media.

Just as the DWTS mantle has covered the globe like a peripatetic Paso cape, this book matches the international reach of dance on TV. As well as other U.S. dance shows (from the classic American Bandwagon to the contemporary So You Think You Can Dance?), this book also includes content from TV series around the world. These include DWTS’ quick-step-mother - Strictly Come Dancing from the U.K. and DWTS spin-offs in Australia and New Zealand. Although these international names may not be as a familiar to U.S. readers as their ‘homegrown’ stars; like dance itself - the humor of the quotes and quips transcends all borders.

As such, Dancing With The Quotes celebrates in frivolous fashion the global glitterball of glamour, glitz and garish gaucheness that has always pervaded the TV dance world. The diverse and sometimes obscure content entertainingly covers everything from the Len GOODman, the LamBADa and the JitterbUGLY.

By its very nature of focusing on TV dance shows in the 20th century, the majority of the quotations contained in this book come from the last six years. This ultra-contemporary content, in terms of dance history, makes this book as fresh and as vibrant as the latest street dance craze.
