    Just had another read of this... That's definitely not me!

    It shouldn't really matter what people's occupations are, just as long as they can dance, they're sociable etc (like Ducasi said) .

    Re: The appliance of science

    I'm a math geek/ computer programmer who dabbles in electronic engineering.

    I wouldn't say I'm a scientist.. unless I can be a MAD scientist?

    I'm a rubbish dancer though.. I have a theory though.. I need to memorise 10 moves and I'll number them from 0 to 9 then I'll simply dance my way though Pi or e

    right ... move 3.. move 1.. move 4 .. move 1 again ...

    at least that way I shouldn't get stuck on the yoyo !!

    I think I've read the whole thread (so far), and nobody has dared to give this explanation:
    I'm a geek and can't meet people. Maybe if I try partner dancing I'll meet some people of the weird sex*

    I have myself noticed a large number of scientific types among those I like to dance with (Alice is the notable exception).
    Lawyers, in my experience, do not dance.

    Isn't that pretty much what I said here...

    Re: The appliance of science

    Maybe there is a higher precentage of folk who have non-creative jobs that need some creative outlet?

    erm... that dosn't really appy to some though...

    Perhaps there is just a higher percentage of people who simply love music and love to dance.

    (Or perhaps they just want to get into close proximity with someone and take on a dominant/submisive part as a role reversal to their normal lives? )
