At this point it kinda feels like Gomez only went to go try out because he was forced to. Like his mum taking him to dance practise after school and he didn't want to do it in the first place...
"DANCE, GOMEZ, ONCE MORE WITH FEELING" his mum would yell at him while he's on stage wearing a tux and half-heartedly doing a Fred Astaire routine. Gomez sighs and looks down at his cane, knowing that somewhere in Montreal a bar will give free shots to all the patrons if he can finish his performance while keeping synch with the tune that Mrs Barlow is rattling out from the 1800s piano. He stops just before the big finale, and goes into the dressing room where apparently he's a stand up guy and inspires all the 8 year old kids who are just about to start their Swan Princess rendition.
