Sharpton Says He Declined 'Dancing' Invite

Rev. Says Focus Only On Voter Education

It appears that the Rev. Al Sharpton's dancing shoes will remain in the closet this fall.

Sharpton told N.Y. Daily News columnists Rush & Molloy that he was invited to appear on the ABC reality competition -- as well as Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" on NBC -- but declined over the importance of the November election.

"This is a serious election," Sharpton told the columnists. "I don't want to be dancing with the stars when I should be protecting the vote."

Sharpton has shown his lighter side before, however. He's appeared as host of NBC's "Saturday Night Live."
