Strictly Come Dancing judge Len Goodman will make the short trip to Bluewater on Thursday, October 30, to sign copies of his new book.

The dance expert who lives in Greenhithe and has owned a dance school in Dartford decades, is promoting Len Goodman’s Dancing Around Britain.

The book explores how dance styles and trends have impacted on people’s lives, from fashion and music to the weekend rite of passage he remembers fondly, plucking up the courage for that ‘tap on the shoulder’.

Published by Trinity Mirror Sport, the book features rare and unseen images from the millions in the Daily Mirror’s historic archives.

Len will be meeting fans at the centre’s Waterstones from 5.30pm.

Senior bookseller Laura said: “We're always happy to see Len in the store, and this book is sure to be a hit amongst lovers of dance.

“We're already taking bets on the number of times we'll hear the word 'Seven!'”

Len Goodman’s Dancing Around Britain is published by Trinity Mirror Sport, RRP £18.99
