A nice metaphor, but you forgot the part about getting punched in the
head every time you switch partners or want to change your clothes. A
lot of people also find themselves dancing in straitjackets depending on
the kind of dance they wanted.

than the ballroom dancing. Plus you don't get punched in the head
nearly as often.
