In Carefree he explains that he learned to dance in college, then psychoanalyzed himself to find out what he really wanted, discovered that he wanted to be a psychiatrist.

When his friend Stephen (Ralph Bellamy) brings his fiancée (Ginger Rogers) to be psychoanalyzed, it turns out that she knows how to dance too. From then on Stephen never has a chance...
