Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dancing in a suit of armour. An amusing sight, in part due to the inherent clumsiness and difficulty in moving glibly in such attire, though far less so than one might expect, as the Real Life section would suggest. Furthermore, a suit of armor has connotations of knightly bravery and honor — hence the humorous whiplash stemming from dancing in full plate (see also The Comically Serious).
Subtrope of Bathos.
Not to be confused with Dance Battler (someone who fights using dance moves, as opposed to someone who dances while dressed for battle), although they can obviously have plenty of crossover. The title is also a Pun on the 1997 film Boogie Nights.

In MythBusters, Adam Savage sometimes dances in their fire suit. He also takes the opportunity to dance in the Redman suit, the heavier impact armor, and the prop armor that shows up for historical myths.

One staff in Dark Souls allows player-characters to perform a ritual dance with it. Some people only invade others to perform this dance at them and disappear.

Spamalot, inspired by the Camelot scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Robin would rather sing and dance than fight, and eventually pursues a career in musical theater. Lancelot, a Straight Gay, is also revealed as loving to dance.

Tiger & Bunny: While not a straight example, you get the idea that the CGI animators were getting a kick out of putting hero-suited Wild Tiger, and any of the heroes in gag mode in as many odd poses as they could come up with.

In RuneScape, if you pay some money and pull a lever at the party room (formerly in Camelot), a group of knights dance and sing on a table. Probably inspired by the Monty Python and the Holy Grail scene. Also, there are multiple dance emotes, which players can do in full armor.

Canadian comedy duo Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster once had a TV special that parodied fairy tales — they star as a court jester and royal physician, breaking into an impromptu softshoe dance in the dining hall, followed by a knight in armor doing a more vigorous tapdance.

Super Sentai:
Tokumei Sentai Go Busters features the Red Buster's Humongous Mecha dancing to the ending song.
Predated by Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger, where a bored Yabaiba (no, it's not For the Evulz) holds Tetomu hostage so the Gaorangers would make Gao King dance.
And Chouriki Sentai Ohranger predates both of them, as Ohranger Robo and Red Puncher both danced together, the former to see how the repairs had progressed after it got wrecked, the latter to help improve OhRed's coordination with the controls.

There are all-class dancing taunts in Team Fortress 2, and several cosmetic items are suits of armor for the various classes. Pyro gets the most mileage out of this, having both a samurai's armor and helmet as well as a full black knight ensemble to dance in, while also being technically armored already in his fireproof suit (which can also have variations as a hazmat/radiation suit).
