Former vice-president Dan Quayle will not be strutting his way across the dance floor anytime soon — at least not on TV.

Quayle was invited to compete in the ABC series approximately four to six weeks ago, but declined the invitation immediately, Quayle’s assistant confirmed to Access Hollywood.

“Dancing With the Stars” returns, without the former veep, on Sept. 22, with a live three-night premiere.
