This may apply to ChekhovsHobby if the character is previously mentioned to enjoy dancing, or a standard ChekhovsSkill if the character taking dance lessons happened earlier in the story, and may also involve a character who claims [[ICantDance they can't dance]]. May result in heavy ShipTease if the dance appears similar to a MatingDance, though a DanceOfRomance is usually too slow to avoid death traps.
