{{quote|''"Let's dance, Bozo."''|'''Terry McGinnis''', ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'', to [[The Joker]].}}
 
A [[Stock Phrase]] most often heard right before an action scene and used as a [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]]. The Hero comes across a random [[Big Bad]], or one of his [[Mooks]]. When the Hero announces his intention to fight/kill said Bad Guy, he might laugh a little sadistically before a replay of "Let's Dance". Sometimes this is accompanied by a cracking of knuckles, or even of the victim's ''neck''.
 
Compare [[Bring It]]. [[Dance Battler]] also takes this literally.

* ''[[Aliens]]''. Just before the Marines fight the xenomorphs for the first time:
{{quote| '''Vasquez:''' "Let's rock!" (opens fire with machine gun)}}
* ''[[Mortal Kombat (Film)|Mortal Kombat]]'' had this as Johnny Cage's [[Pre -Ass -Kicking One -Liner]].
* In ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'', Cowboy says "Let's Dance" just before deploying his squad to search for a sniper they know is in the area.
* In ''[[Anchorman: theThe Legend of Ron Burgundy]]'', Ron Burgundy himself uses this phrase right before a fight:
{{quote| '''Ron Burgundy:''' Let's dance, dickweed.<br />
'''Wes Mantooth:''' You wanna dance, Burgundy?" (whips out a knife) I wanna polka. }}
