- | I think you're confusing ice pairs dancing with the kind of dancing
- you do
- | on a friday at some club somewhere. Ice dancing is a sport, not a
- social
- | pick up event.
-
- I don't know what the remark about bedroom time has to do
- with anything, either, but I'm even more confused by your
- article.
-
- Ice dance is done for social purposes in every part of the
- US that I've lived (right here in River City, actually, is
- certainly the worst example, but...). So if you suppose
- that off-ice activities follow from on-ice activities
- (I don't necessarily), I guess there's some connection.
