Don't listen to him! My wife participates in dance competitions and has "persuaded" me to join her in taking dance lessons at a local dance studio. I would prefer having to recover a crashed 24x7 mission critical database than have to enter a dance competition.

Jack, do you do ballroom or latin/jive? Of course, I happen to prefer ballroom (where you can get away with looking bored while you're dancing) and my wife likes latin (our salsa instructor is constantly exhorting us to "shake our booties" - trust me, you don't want to see a DBA shaking his booty).
