Because I just couldn't resist and you've got to admit, it would be amusing to see those two in a tap dance class.

"Hey, good job tonight, Jimmy," a female voice said and Jimmy looked up to see Claire, a member of the adult tap classes as well as a Georgetown PhD student.
"Thanks Claire," Jimmy replied blushing slightly. "You're a really good tapper," he told her.
"I'm glad you think so, Jimmy," she said smiling brightly, "but I'm rusty, it's been almost eight months since I last put on my tap shoes."
"Why the break?"
"Let's just say that life got in the way but I couldn't stay away, I missed it, you know."
"Yeah, I do," he replied and it was true, while he might have hated being put in tap classes as a kid tap grew on him and no matter what, he always ended returning.
"Well, see next week, Jimmy," she told him brightly.
"See ya," he called out after her as he watched her run to catch up with some of the other students who were on their way out.
"You should have gotten her number," a voice said into his ear causing Jimmy to jump.
"Tony!"
"What? She's hot and she was totally flirting with you."
"Well, looks like you did so much better this time around," Jimmy said choosing not to reply to Tony's previous statement.
Tony quirked an eyebrow but did not say anything, after the week Jimmy had the kid deserved a bit a of a break. "No one said tap would be this hard," Tony shot back making a face.
"You were the one saying that you could get the hang of it since you knew how to clog dance," Jimmy reminded him
"That was when I was fifteen, Palmer," Tony retorted suddenly feeling old when he realized that that had been over twenty years ago. Seriously, had it been that long ago?
"Hey, I'm just reminding you of what you said," Jimmy said smirking.
"Yeah, yeah, come let's get out of here and grab a bite to eat," Tony grumbled as he absently rubbed his bad knee.
"Cool, I know this great little Turkish place, my treat," Jimmy said smiling before leading them out of the building.
