For whatever reason, there's a dance or a dinner, or a party of some kind, going on — be it a snooty royal or noble ball, a school dance or a wedding, or maybe a particularly large birthday party. If it's a more formal occasion, pretty much everyone is dressed up. There's a fairly good chance that if our heroes have been invited, the Big Bad or his mooks are quite likely to invite themselves; be assured something catastrophic and violent is going to occur, usually in the vicinity of either the entrance or the dance floor. Conversely, the hero may break into the bad guy's party; a party after some evil action done before would prove their Lack of Empathy. In most circumstances everyone will be unarmed, except maybe the guards (if they even have them). Cue panicked screams, and the Action Girl complaining about having to fight in a dress... until she rips the hem off. Then watch out. May overlap with A Fête Worse than Death. The subtrope Wedding Smashers is for fights happening during a wedding party specifically. If the hero is wealthy enough, he may end up Paying for the Action Scene out of generosity. See Excuse Me, Coming Through! for the general trope of fights, shootouts, or chases occurring in a public space. Incidentally, while there can be blood on the dance floor here, that term will take you to Vampire Dance instead. |

In the X-Men: Evolution episode "Shadow Dance", where the monsters that inhabit the pocket dimension Nightcrawler crosses every time he bamfs from one place to another manage to escape and start making a rampage in Bayville High, during the Sadie Hawkins dance night. Being this the school that the X-Men and the Brotherhood attend, they have no problem dealing with them. Kurt, on the other hand, is afraid of doing anything, both because said monsters had traumatized him earlier on (to a point he swore to himself he would never teleport again) and because he didn't want Amanda to find out he was a mutant. Turns out she already knew about his powers and his true appearance, and he manages to teleport them both out of school in the last minute at her urging. | |

Luke Cage (2016): Midway through season 2, Luke has to headline a party being thrown by Mariah's stockbroker Raymond "Piranha" Jones to raise money to pay Cockroach. It's cut short when Bushmaster's thugs attack the party and try to kidnap Piranha. In the climax of season 2, Mariah invokes this. She puts on a free concert at Harlem's Paradise knowing that Bushmaster will show up and try to kill her, and Luke will come to protect the innocent bystanders. It's even more hectic because this is happening while the police are at the club working a sting to have Shades wear a wire and lead them to evidence that links Mariah to the murder of Bushmaster's uncle. |

Walker, Texas Ranger: The 3rd Season Finale, "Standoff", has Walker taking on a European assassin trying to kill a Mexican Presidential candidate when he takes hostages at a banquet, including not only the Mexican Presidential hopeful, but also the Texas Lieutenant Governor and C.D. and Alex. In Season 9's "6 Hours", gunmen posing as waiters shoot up the conference center where the Dallas Business Association awards banquet— where Alex is being honored for her work at the HOPE Center— is taking place, prompting the Rangers to spring into action. Two of the shooters were killed by Walker and Sydney, two others were arrested by Gage and Trivette, only to be killed before they are brought in for questioning, and the remaining two escaped with the mastermind behind the whole thing: a wealthy teenage girl's traitorous bodyguard. The traitor was using it as a distraction for her father and the Rangers while he kidnaps her for a ransom and plots to murder her live on the internet. |

Batman villains love this trope: Batman Returns: The fancy costume party at which Bruce and Selina discover each other's identities gets interrupted explosively by the Penguin. Batman Forever: Two-Face crashes Edward Nygma's (The Riddler's) party despite the two working together. Followed soon after by Batman. Batman & Robin: Bruce organizes a charity auction sale of diamonds in order to lure Mr. Freeze. Poison Ivy infiltrates the party in a pink gorilla costume, takes it off and seduces everybody with her love perfume, then Freeze crashes the party. Batman Begins: R�'s al Ghūl and his men crash Bruce Wayne's birthday party. The Dark Knight: The Joker and his men storm Bruce's fundraiser as they try to assassinate Harvey Dent, having succeeded in eliminating Commissioner Loeb and Judge Surrillo. This is why Bruce can't have nice things. Later, Batman goes to arrest Sal Maroni inside his own nightclub. Averted in The Dark Knight Rises: Bruce Wayne does go dancing with Selina Kyle at a ball, but Bane does not attack. Averted again in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, where Bruce infiltrates Lex Luthor's party but uses stealth to steal encrypted information. |

At the actual party, after the comedy acts, Dot singing a torch song, and other festivities, Megabyte barges onstage — with an electric guitar. He plays power chords while his dimwit sidekicks Hack and Slash back him up on drums. Bob pulls out HIS guitar, and the two jam with each other! Megabyte's actual plan? "I've always wanted to do that!" He gives his guitar to the birthday boy, gets in his limo, and leaves. | |

A minor example in Les Misérables when the Thenardiers crash Marius and Cosette's wedding to bribe Marius for their secrecy about the fact that his father-in-law, Jean Valjean, was supposedly robbing corpses (actually saving Marius's life) when the barricades fell. It's rather subdued, with Marius taking care of the problem as discreetly as possible — until Marius punches Thenardier out. | |

Lampshaded in the Robot Chicken DC Superheroes Special. The MC at a museum gala unveils a massive gem as the centerpiece of the exhibit, then observes that everyone gathered knows what's going to come next, hoping they can at least get through the first round of hors d'oeuvres before the first supervillain shows up. Sure enough, he's barely finished speaking before Mr. Freeze bursts through a wall. Seconds later, Captain Cold does the same thing. While the two of them bicker over scheduling issues, Icicle bursts through another wall. As the three of them ponder the problems of having multiple villains with the same gimmick, Chillblain crashes the party too, even though all of the guests have long since evacuated. And then the building collapses on them because they destroyed too many load-bearing walls. | |

The first Season Finale of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, "The Best Night Ever", ends with the Mane cast going to the Grand Galloping Gala... and making a huge mess of Princess Celestia's castle in the process. (Which, it turns out, is precisely what Princess Celestia wanted.) This happens again in the season 2 episode "Sweet and Elite", when the main cast invite themselves to a garden party Rarity had been secretly attending. Fortunately, the end result is somewhat more positive this time around. In fact, the first example arguably happens right in the two-part pilot with Nightmare Moon crashing Ponyville's Summer Sun Celebration. It happens yet again in the second season finale, when a wedding between Princess Cadance and Shining Armor is interrupted by Twilight Sparkle and the real Cadance. The fake Cadance reveals her true form as queen of the Changelings, and her minions proceed to besiege all of Canterlot. And yet again in the season 5 episode "Make New Friends But Keep Discord", when Discord invites, then ignores, the Smooze to the Gala. Maybe ponies just aren't meant to have nice things. |
