Dance 2.0: The Unusual Art

“Where the Hell is Matt? Dancing Badly Around the World” is a book about my experiences making the first three dancing videos from 2003 to 2008. It’s 40,000 words on 226 pages with several hundred photos thrown in. It’s broken up into about 60 short chapters, each of which is centered around a clip from one of the videos. The chapters are designed to last about as long as the average person spends on a toilet each day. So by that method, it’s a 2 month read.

I had a great time making this. Hope you enjoy it. www.wherethehellismatt.com www.STRIDEgum.com
