Description
This light-footed volume of 1000 light-hearted quotations is a tongue-in-cheek-to-cheek tribute to dance on TV. This fun-packed book focuses on the first nine seasons of "DWTS." 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 "American Bandwagon" to "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 the global glitterball of glamour, glitz and garish gaucheness that pervades the TV dance world. The diverse and sometimes obscure content comically covers everything from the Len GOODman, the LamBADa and the JitterbUGLY. ON BILLY RAY CYRUS' WALTZ - "The trouble was there was only one recognizable step: the Shadow Botafogos ... and that's a Samba step!" LEN GOODMAN on D.W.T.S. (2007) ON MYA'S LAMBADA - "Una palabra caliente! Seriously, you could see the steam coming off her legs." JOEY GUERRA in THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE (2009) ON DONNY OSMOND'S RAILROAD-INSPIRED JITTERBUG - Not so sure about this train-engineer getup ... but all the better for Donny to ogle Kym's caboose, we guess!" NATALIE FINN on EONLINE.com (2009) For a more historical and equally hysterical overview of dance quotations - look out for our sister publication "THE QUOTABLE DANCER."
