Mating Dance: Difference between revisions

* ''High School High'' took this to its extremes, with dancers quite accurately pantomiming intimate maneuvers. Of course, this is to be expected, the movie being an outright parody of such things.

* ''[[The Thomas Crown Affair]]'', version two featuring Pierce Brosnan as Crown and Rene Russo wearing an invisible dress. The scene ends with the line.

* ''Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood'' employs this as well as parodying of the perception of licentiousness in the black culture. At the party, dancers are revealed in a pan shot starting with fairly normal dancing, then to grinding, then to two people buck naked and just having sex on the dance floor.

* ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'': "El Tango de Roxanne"

* Parodied in ''[[Babylon 5]]'' when Ivanova got out of having sex with an alien by convincing him that a strange dance routine ''was'' how humans did it.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Buffy did this with Xander in the Season 2 premiere, apparently just to make Angel jealous. Or maybe to mess with Xander's head to. Both worked:

'''Angel:''' "Danced with" is a pretty loose term. "Mated with" might be a little closer. }}

* In ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' Lily and Marshall rediscovered their youth while dancing in a club. Ted, as the narrator, comments on their dancing first being nice and then getting icky.

== Western Animation ==

* La Tango De La Muerte from ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'':

'''Eduardo:''' It is the mystery of the dance. }}

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'': Fans can cite the Kataango. Also known as The Battle of the Sexings. For the uninitiated, this is the dancing scene in the third-season episode "The Headband" -- details [[G-Rated Sex|over here]].
