SDsalsaguy,

I know others may find this a strange question, but what the heck, I'm an engineer/scientist. I need to know.

In your research, have you found any interesting differences by demographic group or national origin? Have you looked at it?

I ask because almost all the ballroom dancers I know are in their 30's or 40's, of Anglo-Saxon descent, upper middle class, divorced or widowed ...

Just curious. No intent to send you off on an unnecessary tangent. But I would love to see your thesis when you're done.

(And yes, research donations made within the U.S. really can be made TAX FREE!!!)

I still think that would be an interesting slant. Maybe one of these days, I'll go get a PhD in anthropology and study that myself. :wink:
