Selected For New Dance-Reality Show "Tap Dancin' With The Stars"

ANN April 1st Special Edition: After showing amazing verbal dexterity in trying to convince investors, owners, the media, and others that Cirrus was NOT being shopped to China, CEO Brent Wouters has been approached to star in the inaugural season of a new dance-themed reality show.

Titled "Tap Dancin' With The Stars", the show will feature celebrities, but will also draw on the worlds of business and politics. "There is so much obvious talent out there," said show executive producer Hap E. Fete. "We didn't want to limit ourselves to a narrow slate of potential dancers. You never know who is going to rise to the occasion."

Fete said Wouters has been on his radar for some time, almost since being named CEO of the company in 2008. "In the television business, you always have to be on the lookout for great talent, even if you don't have a specific project in mind," he said. "Mr. Wouters displayed such an natural talent for fancy footwork that I knew he'd be a natural for some kind of dancing show. This idea hit me like a ton of bricks at three in the morning one day, and he was the first person I though of."

Wouters was unavailable for comment, though a trace of his Internet records indicate he has been shopping online for tap shoes and has made inquiries about rehearsal space in Duluth. Fete says the program is set for a debut sometime in 2012, and will likely be produced in China.
