Ralph Q&A

1. Why want to do the show? My mantle is missing a mirrorball.

2. Are you a fan of the show? Does pony boy stay gold?

3. What's your dance experience? There's a little bit of theatre dance in my childhood history... hope it comes through.

4. Why do you think you will be good at this? Because I'm not completely uncoordinated... and I love the thrill of the footlights.

5. What are you nervous about? How much time do you have? Just kidding... the "performance" part of it, I totally embrace. It's the all consuming "competition" part of it that might make me nervous. Oh yeah, and tripping or falling.

6. Are your wife and kids excited? They are pumped... they have been pushing me for years... now with the crash course dance training... that may be in a wheel chair.

7. How far are you willing to go: Sequins? Rhinestones? Spray tan? Sequins - possible, rhinestones - doubtful, spray tan - maybe for the "Jersey Shore" number.
