* '''Straight''': Clare is facing an armed squad blocking a bridge. Since this is a musical, she summons a group of dancers to help her [[DanceBattler dance fight]] against all of them.
* '''Exaggerated''': Clare summons so many dancers that they collapse the bridge with their combined weight.
* '''Downplayed''': There a lots of mirrors and reflective surfaces nearby, along with one or two people who gamely help Clare with basic choreography, which just so happen to make it look like Clare is really dancing with tons of people.
* '''Justified''': Clare knew about the blockade, and used herself as a distraction so her friends can sneak up on the soldiers and ''further'' disorient them with dance synchronized fighting.
* '''Inverted''': Clare is walking to the bridge with her musical theater troupe, who run away in fear once they see the soldiers.
* '''Subverted''': Clare starts singing, dancing, and once she reaches the chorus... no one sings it. She's all alone.

* '''Parodied''': Clare takes out a bottle marked "Acme Dehydrated Dancers" and rehydrates them.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Clare makes angels appear to sing alongside her, except they were just a figment of her imagination, until they came to life! But it turns out it was a DreamWithinADream, and Clare isn't even singing out loud.

* '''Invoked''': Clare organizes her friends and coworkers into a passable backup dancer group, and gives them Supermanlike spandex costumes to wear under their clothes so they can beat their rivals.
* '''Exploited''': The bridge guards know that Clare may come in to dance battle, so they rearrange the layout of the bridge to make it both too narrow and not carry music well, thus limiting any benefits number or dance fighting would have.
* '''Defied''': Clare shoos away the backup dancers so she can do a solo song.
