* [[GURPS]] includes dance magic as a type of limitation on magery.

* The Masque of Slaanesh in [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]/[[Warhammer ~~40000~~|40k]] is a daemonette of Slaanesh who angered her master and was cursed to dance for all eternity. Anybody who sees her dancing is forced to dance along, even to the point of dying from exhaustion.

* In ''[[Exalted]]'', pretty much any Performance Charm will work with dancing just as well as speechmaking, music, or any other performance. Want to stop an army in its tracks with a waltz? Go for it, and have a [[Rule of Cool|2-die stunt]] while you're at it.
