History Main / DancingTheme

* ''Bacchikoi'', the most recent ending of ''Naruto: Shippuden'' features the three rookie kunoichi Sakura, Ino, and Hinata dancing to the song. Lee and Guy-sensei eventually persuade Naruto to dance to the theme.

* Done, quite hilariously, in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RzXftk4oKE&feature=related 8th ED]] of ''{{Naruto}} Shippuden''.

* The ''[[PrettyCure Precure]]'' Franchise has been running on these for the past ''10 YEARS''.
** ''[[FutariWaPrettyCure Futari Wa Pretty Cure]]'' started the tradition with its ED [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxtVD-QeKq8 Get You! Love! Love!? ]]
** ''[[FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash* Star]]'' second ED [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c03CEMnx_rA Ganbalance De Dance]], ''[[YesPrecure5 Yes! Precure 5]]'' and Yes! Precure 5 Go Go! did their own version of the song, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVmB44tRXnY ~Yume Miru Kisekitachi~ ]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vWbLXJ2sbQ ~Kibou no Relay~]]. It's a good thing it's such a fun song, or we might be a bit annoyed.
** ''[[FreshPrettyCure Fresh Pretty Cure]]'' First ED [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC60OiLsGGw You Make me Happy]], made the jump from hand drawn animation to CGI, and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJoBZ1gj-TU H@ppy Together]] cemented it as precure's new type of dance ending.
** ''[[HeartCatchPrettyCure HeartCatch Pretty Cure]]'' brought with it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scD9INzcWW8 Heartcatch Paradise!]] and the gospel-like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmEmgwT88Dg Tomorrow Song ~Ashita no Uta~]]
** ''[[SuitePrettyCure Suite Pretty Cure]]'' went slightly disco with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKmexnug6pg Wonderful Powerful Music!!]] and then turned to the [[TastesLikeDiabetes stupidly saccharine]] with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA3Zze9lQXk #Rainbow of Hope#]]
** ''[[SmilePrettyCure Smile Pretty Cure]]'' gave an individual dance for each of its cures with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwaW0mysieY Yay! Yay! Yay!]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSWfx5RahV8 Mankai*Smile!]]
** ''[[Anime/DokiDokiPrecure Doki Doki! Pretty Cure]]'' appears to taking the Idol route with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxfsmpwnXkM Beyond The Sky]].
** And Finally, most ''[[PrettyCureAllStars All Stars]]'' movies also have a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDS0BZf01yg whole]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR1jSO1_BaM batch]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsEerT2-UWM of]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOI4fNpuduk Dancing]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnWpywSGTJU Themes]] Phew!

* In the ''LizzieMcGuire'' opening, the chracters dance and play with balls. [[ThatCameOutWrong (That was not supposed to sound that way.)]]
* ''TheDrewCareyShow'', which used three different {{Real Song Theme Tune}}s.

* ''[[MadanSenkiRyukendo Ryukendo]]'' turned its first OP into a Dancing Theme for [[SpecialEditionTitle the final episode]].
** Its [[SpiritualSuccessor Spiritual Grandchild]] ''TomicaHeroRescueFire'' does straight this with its second ending, although it's interspersed with exercising.

* ''ChouSeiKantaiSazerX'' ED. It falls somewhere between Dancing Theme and "exercise routine."

* The UpdatedRerelease for ''{{Persona 4}}'' (entitled ''Persona 4: The Golden'') was given a new opening sequence with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPAyiNrnFAM main characters dancing to upbeat j-pop]]. Pretty cheerful for a game centered around a bizarre, supernatural murder mystery.

* The ED of several ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series. ''[[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger Kakuranger]]'', ''[[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger Abaranger]]'' (with the {{Mooks}}), ''[[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Dekaranger]]'', ''[[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Magiranger]]'', ''[[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Gekiranger]]'', ''[[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Go-onger]]'' (this one in several different versions), ''[[Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger Goseiger]]'', ''[[Series/TokumeiSentaiGobusters Go-Busters]]'', and ''[[Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger Kyoryuger]]''[[note]]Which takes the cake for letting audiences send in videos of them dancing![[/note]] all have this type of theme.

* ''SengokuBasara'''s anime adaptation has "JAP", featuring the synchronized hip-hop moves of sengoku-era {{mooks}} in the background.

* The first ending of ''{{Fushigiboshi No Futago Hime}}'' is a rather more sedate ballroom dance.

* The ending theme of ''{{Lime-iro Senkitan}}'' consists of each of the main girls [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK-Hn1FGLjg&feature=related doing a different dance with maracas and shaking their butt.]] Very repetetive. Very easy to learn.

* ''DetectiveConan''s 8th op has a dancing Conan.

* The second and third ''{{Disgaea}}'' games. The second doesn't have a full dancing theme, but the third makes up for that in spades with an opening that probably owes something to ''Thriller''.

* ''DinosaurKing'' had dancing closing themes for both seasons. They were incorporated into the dub openings.

* ''StrangersWithCandy'' ended every episode with a dance party. Yes, this includes the last episode.
** The best known is the "King of Glory" liturgical dance solo by StephenColbert - what fewer people know is that this ended a two-parter about a dangerous cult.

* WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries does this, showing several characters hulaing in the beginning credits. Including ''[[ScaryBlackMan Cobra Bubbles]]'', wearing a grass skirt ''[[RuleOfFunny on top of his suit]]''.
** Not to mention ''Gantu'' and ''[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Hamsterviel/Hamsterwheel]]'' as well.

* ''FamilyGuy'' uses this.

* ''Many'' ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' endings feature dancing. Usually, it is the 'mon themselves that dance, but other characters also get into the action in their own ending themes, like Takeshi/Brock ("Takeshi no Paradise") and Team Rocket ("Nyaasu no Party", "Maemuki Rocket-Dan").
