Shall We Dance?

Answer: Miss Mitzi lets her practise as much as she wants for free.

Bobbie tells us that the hottest dance school in town is called "Doctor Dance", and that the trendy people don't go to Miss Mitzi's Dance School. Later in the movie, Link takes John out to "Doctor Dance" for one of their dance party nights. Link has an incident there where one of the other dancers takes his wig off him, and his dance partner criticizes his fake tan.

From Quiz Shall We Dance?
