How Bob Hope learned to dance..

Quote from Bob Hope and photograph of Yorke Dance Company in Wordsworth

‘I grew up with six brothers. That’s how I learned to dance – waiting for the bathroom’ is a quote by  American comedian, Vaudevillian, actor, dancer and author Bob Hope (1903-2003). This humanitarian and master of the one-liner  was born in England to a stonemason. His family had very little money when he was young, so the young Bob took a number of jobs to help out. Bob’s first big film was in 1938, then when his film career began to ebb he transferred his success to TV.

 I will be posting a dance photograph and dance quote and a little related history every Friday this year. If you would like your favourite quote included then please let me know.
