* ''Series/LostGirl''. Kenzi dances a threesome tango with Dyson ''and'' Hale, [[LoveTriangle both of whom are attracted to her at the time]].

** In ''Can you feel the love tonight?'' by ZekkKiray, Raven and Beast Boy hook up during a dance (which the author says was written with the Wakfu scene in mind) after which she teleports them both back to the tower for some NSFW scenes.

* The Charity Gala Dance segment of ''WesternAnimation/BadGuys'' between Mr. Wolf and Diane Foxington.

* In VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings there is a house where the third party member will [[LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone leave Ninten and Ana alone to be together in a room with two beds]], in which Ana will ask if Ninten likes her and they will engage in a very intimate dance. The party member returns after and asks why they're blushing.

* In Film/BitterMoon, [[BritishStuffiness Nigel]] attempts this with [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench Mimi]] but bungles it since [[DidntThinkThisThrough he can't actually dance.]] [[spoiler: His [[EnglishRose wife]] is much more successful, but it probably didn't help that Nigel was being deliberately set up for this outcome.]]

* Music/AliceCooper in his CoverVersion of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayK2ZY8sQRw "I Got A Line on You"]] (original by Spirit). As if his getup wasn't enough, there's also VisualInnuendo in the form of [[ADateWithRosiePalms guitarists strumming their conveniently-at-crotch-level instruments]].

This trope also applies to any song where dancing is used as a symbol, a metaphor, a euphemism, or a DoubleEntendre for sex. Not describing sex set to a beat, but they might as well have. It also applies to a performer who is [[PelvicThrust thrusting]], pumping or grinding his or her pelvis to [[VisualInnuendo simulate sexual intercourse]] while singing a [[IntercourseWithYou sex song]]. FusionDance may sound like a literal version of this, but that type is actually quite different. Not quite the same as DanceOfRomance, but couples who dance that might end up dancing this eventually.

Tenuously related to {{Intercourse with You}}. Contrast with ThreeMinutesOfWrithing, which may invoke this trope.

* The tango scene in ''Film/MrAndMrsSmith2005''. Considering the RomanceOnTheSet that ensued between the respective actors, this one probably carries a lot of RealitySubtext.

* Played very straight in ''Honey 2'', where Maria (Creator/KatGraham) and Brandon (Creator/RandyWayne) are left alone in Honey Daniels' studio and have a steamy dance number complete with kissing and groping. The sequence ends with the pair giving each other 'the eye', and [[SexyDiscretionShot dip below the camera]] to have sex...in the middle of the dance floor. Mind you, their other dance troupe members are due to return at any moment.

* ''Franchise/{{Zorro}}''

* ''Film/TheWickerMan1973'': Willow's naked dance. The man she's dancing for is in the next room and can't see her, but that's hardly necessary to get his attention.

* ''Film/DeathOnTheNile2022'' establishes the passionate relationship between Simon Doyle and Jacqueline de Bellefort with a steamy dance that stops just short of the two ripping each other's clothes off and humping in the middle of a crowded nightclub dance floor.

* ''Series/DoctorWho''
** The episodes "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances" make use of the second version of this trope, but it was also invoked in "The Girl In The Fireplace".

* Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas were like this on ''Series/DancingWithTheStars''. It was no surprise to find out they hooked up in real life.
** Heck, pretty much ''everyone'' does this at least once. This is a family show, right?

[[folder:Theater]]

* The tango scene in ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold''.
* Yet another tango scene: the start of ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'' episode 22 of season 1, with Sadlygrove and Evangelyne (pictured above, [[https://youtu.be/t16z1qZL2-w video here]]). Note that it's a DreamSequence (for one, Eva can barely even ''walk'' in high heels). [[spoiler:It then abruptly turns into a nightmare when she asks him why he broke her bow (under DemonicPossession), a horrible humiliation for Crâs, and he wakes up to remember that he [[TheAtoner forced himself into exile]] over [[ItsAllMyFault hurting her so badly]].]]

* The Literature/{{Queen of the Black Coast}} does this for Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian. Right in front of her crew. [[UpToEleven Then they have sex right in front of the crew]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' episode [[Recap/KingOfTheHillS5E15LuanneVirgin20 Luanne Virgin 2.0]] Luanne dances very suggestively with Rhett, complete with wrapping her legs around him and several accidental views up her skirt. This results in Rhett impulsively proposing to her.

* Many [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic My Little Pony]] fans seem to think that pegasi act like birds, and some artists draw them dancing like birds. Or as one artist put it, [[http://ravenpuff.deviantart.com/art/Pegasus-Mating-Dance-477811913 "Art thou wooed yet, milady?"]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' episode [[Recap/KingOfTheHillS5E15LuanneVirgin20 Luanne Virgin 2.0]] Luanne dances very suggestively with Rhett, complete with wrapping her legs around him and several accidental views [[PantyShot up her skirt.]] This results in Rhett impulsively proposing to her.

It also applies to a performer who is [[PelvicThrust thrusting]], pumping or grinding his or her pelvis to [[VisualInnuendo simulate sexual intercourse]] while singing a [[IntercourseWithYou sex song]]. FusionDance may sound like a literal version of this, but that type is actually quite different.

* ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}'': The Mesutchi and Osutchi dance around when they connect to marry and reproduce.

* In VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings there is a house where the third party member will leave Ninten and Ana alone to be together in a room with two beds, in which Ana will ask if Ninten likes her and they will engage in a very intimate dance. The party member returns after and asks why they're blushing.

* Willow's naked dance in ''Film/TheWickerMan1973''. The man she's dancing for is in the next room and can't see her, [[EnthrallingSiren but that's hardly necessary to get his attention]].
