The Man Who Danced Around the World

James Wood may have the best job in the world. For nearly a quarter of a century, he's worked as a professional dance host on passenger ships ranging from the Mississippi Queen to the Crystal Serenity. During that time he has cruised 350,000 miles, visited 161 country, and glided through an estimated 120,000 dances. When it comes to dance hosting on the high seas, Jim is the captain of a fading gentlemanly art. In this entertaining memoir, you'll not only learn all the complex steps to dance hosting, but will also recount the most amazing places he's visited, the most interesting people he's met, and of course, the most fascinating ladies he's danced with. The lessons he learned through it all about life (and love) will make you think and smile.
