It's a pretty important social custom in a lot of cultures. I feel for you as there are times when I really, really don't feel like dancing but also don't want to be the odd one out.

The people telling you about Sal Khan's name are being uncharitable, I think. I think you know that was not the intent behind the name, you're just pointing out that the coincidences add an extra layer of meaning to you. Which I t
