ABC Hits New York Streets with Dancing ‘Stars’

Sep 12, 2006 6:04 AM, PROMO Xtra, By Amy Johannes

ABC is bringing dancing stars to the streets of New York as part of a guerilla marketing stunt to hype up the latest season of its popular show Dancing With the Stars.

In all, 110 dancers will show off their moves today while visiting 25 landmarks in three New York City boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens). Male dancers donning gold star costumes with Dancing With the Stars tune-in information on the back and female dancers in black cocktail dresses will kick off their day with a stop at Good Morning America before making other appearances at Times Square, the Staten Island Ferry, the Brooklyn Bridge and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. At each stop, ambassadors will distribute star magnet premiums with tune-in information.
