The first memoir from national treasure and Strictly star, Anton Du Beke. 'This is what dance means to me. It means the things that seems to have been there before everything else, and the thing that will be there after everything else. Not as a career. Not as a plan. Just as 'the thing'. The reason to get up at three in the morning and the reason to stay up until midnight. The reason why anything in this book that wasn't dance was worth doing at all.'A nostalgic coming-of-age story, filled with the charm and wit we've come to know and love, Steps in Time reveals the man behind the glitterball. Over the past two decades, Anton Du Beke has captured the hearts of the nation with his fancy footwork on Strictly Come Dancing. But behind the perfect quickstep and the twinkle in his eye is a story he's never told. Now, for the first time, Anton reflects on the journey he's been on to become the national treasure he is today.
