So, you've found yourself in an altercation. You're facing down your opponent, ready to kick some ass, when you notice something weird: they're moving about in subtle dancing motions as they wait for you to attack. You assume them to be styling on you and you start swinging at them with your most precise hits, but none of them connect while your opponent continues to sway gracefully. You step back for a moment to predict where they're going to go next and what they're going to do. You aim straight for them as they start spinning and then BAM!
Your opponent takes a bow before departing, but you don't get to see it because you're face down on the floor. You been hit by... you been struck by, a dance battler!
While this might seem strange, it hardly all that far-fetched. Being a good dancer requires flexibility, coordination, balance, reflexes, and sometimes strength and speed, all things that go a long way in a fight as well. Plus, it just looks cool. Expect such characters to hang a lampshade on the relationship between dance and combat.
There are several ways to go about this:
The character is a practitioner of the martial art known as Capoeira or something related/similar, which combines elaborate defensive movements with well-timed attacks. This is the route usually gone down by a Fighting Game character, e.g. Elena, Bob Wilson, Eddie and Christie, etc.
The character is a superbly-skilled dancer and just happens to know how to fight as well, fusing the two, e.g. Duck King, Dee Jay, etc. This is arguably the most common example of this trope.
The character either practices Drunken Boxing or is just really drunk.
The character is just plain nuts.
Dance Battlers are often unarmed. Adding a weapon will make them even more deadly because these kinds of fighters tend to favor knives or small arms that can be twirled with gymnastic flair. If they can Spin to Deflect Stuff, all the better. Either way, a Dance Battler is an annoying opponent, since it's hard to tell what's an attack and what's just a fancy step.
A telltale sign you're fighting someone like this in a Fighting Game is that they're always sweeping one foot and then the other behind themselves.
A reasonable skill to teach someone in the Wax On, Wax Off method. Gives a whole new meaning to "Dance Sensation". If the dancer is popular and/or given special treatment for their talents, they're Dancing Royalty. If female, the Dance Battler is likely to be a Lady of War because of their graceful movements in battle. If the Dance Battler can Summon Backup Dancers, be very worried. This trope often goes hand-in-hand with Confusion Fu.
Sub-Trope of Art Attacker and Dainty Combat.
Compare She-Fu, which can be combined with the Dance Battler style. Compare & contrast Musical Assassin, Magic Dance, and Graceful in Their Element. See also Let's Dance, which is usually not meant literally, but can be.
Not to be confused with Dance-Off, when people duel just by dancing without any combat.

Genshin Impact: Eula's fighting style is based on the "Dance of Sacrifice" that was used by aristocrats to demonstrate their nobility, and thus utilizes a lot of fancy footwork and stylish movements. In the present it's no longer required for Lawrence family members to learn it and is practiced by Mondstadters of all social backgrounds. The dance was Eula's favorite pastime when she was younger, so she incorporated it into her footwork. Eula's so good at the dance that it leaves Amber mesmerized when she sees it.
There's also Nilou, who, as a dancer for the Zubayr Theater, combines her dancing skills with fancy swordplay.
And Gaming, who incorporates his Wushou dance talents into his fighting style, complete with his giant lion mask.

In Samurai Jack, the leader of the big party Jack stumbles into in "Jack and the Rave" fights Jack and is easily the samurai's equal in hand-to-hand combat, though unlike other rap-themed fighters, he fights exclusively with his arms and hands, using hip-hop gestures to punch, chop, and defend. (This doesn't seem to be based on any martial arts in particular—his fighting just looks like rapping on fast forward.) The DJ, however, is no match when Jack gets his sword back.

Batman (1966):
Batgirl was played by Yvonne Craig, a trained ballerina. In contrast to Batman and Robin's usual rough-and-tumble fighting, Batgirl's fighting style was elegant, full of high kicks and spins, and even ballet-style lifts by Robin or Batman to set up attacks.
Played with in "Pharaoh's in a Rut" when King Tut makes Batman (whom he thinks has been driven insane) dance for his amusement. Batman starts dancing the Batusi to the show's theme music until he's standing before a couple of minions whom he then punches in the face.

Many Fire Emblem games also have a Dancer class, although only the Archanea games (Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and Mystery of the Emblem) and the Jugdral games (Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776) allow them to fight properly without glitches. Even then, Dancers have far inferior stats compared to other classes, as their real purpose is to grant allies another turn.
Fire Emblem: Awakening brings back the Dancer's ability with Olivia, and thanks to unlimited reclassing, she can actually fight on par with other units, even when reclassed back to a Dancer.
Fire Emblem Fates has Azura whose class is Songstress. Although she's primarily a singer, she can also dance quite well and uses flashy spins and twirls while wielding a lance in battle.
Unlike the rest of the series the Dancer class in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is not locked to one specific unit. With every student having the possibility of gaining acces to the class, though you still only get one per playthrough unless you utilize New Game+. The class itself also gained some massive upgrades towards it's combat capabilities. With it gaining access to magic, a skill that boosts the Dancers evasion when wielding a sword and a dancer exclusive combat art that deals extra damage based on the unit's charm stat.
Fire Emblem Engage has Seadall, whose version of the Dancer class allows him to use martial arts. Unlike more pragmatic strikes of other brawlers, Seadall attacks with graceful, acrobatic motions, and uses a Diving Kick for his Critical Hit.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The Gerudo Champion Urbosa's fighting style is said to resemble that of a dance, according to the description of her scimitar. The Champions' Ballad DLC certainly demonstrates this in a flashback, and the prequel Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity shows it off to the fullest. In battle, she is seen performing graceful and intricate twirls, and even dodges attacks with a subtle turn.

Like a Dragon:
Thanks to being Promoted to Playable in Yakuza 0, one of Goro Majima's new fighting styles is "Breaker". Which he creates after seeing a bunch of breakdancers have a dance battle on a bridge, it allows him to clear up crowds with wide breakdancing-style attacks, he hones it further by meeting up with one of the breakdancers (and his siblings). The style also allows him to build up his HEAT meter by performing show poses in the middle of combos, which also allow him to counter enemies if they hit him during said poses.
Due to using the same engine and thanks to the Majima Everywhere system in Yakuza Kiwami, Kiryu can sometimes fight Majima using his "Breaker" style, and one encounter has him wear his flashy disco outfit (from the Imagine Spot of "24 Hour Cinderella") to complement it.
The style makes a return Yakuza: Like a Dragon as a Job class that most of the male party members can take. It has a few returning moves and then some new ones, although now being used for a turn-based RPG instead of the beat em' up gameplay of 0.
In Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, since the game takes place partially in Hawaii two of the new classes are Geodancer (based on hula dancing) and Pyrodancer (based on firetwirlers). Chitose also has various moves based on ballet and ballroom dancing.

Octopath Traveler II has Agnea, a girl who goes on an adventure to follow her mother's example to become a superstar. In overworld, she keeps the "Allure" Path Action at daytime, which now also causes the allured NPC to give her various buffs when she uses a dance-related skill, while she can also use "Entreat" at night to get items from NPCs for free once her level is high enough. In battle. her offensive abilities are more physic-oriented, and she has wind-type magic instead of dark-type magic. Her Latent Power, All Together Now, causes most skills that work on a single target to work on all targets.

A variation occurs in The Mighty Ducks. Tammy Duncan (and, to a lesser extent, her brother Tommy) trained in figure skating before being tapped to join the hockey team, and she routinely incorporates figure skating choreography into her hockey play, even using it to score a big goal in a crucial game. They are both replaced by Olympic level skater Ken Wu in the sequels.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
Michelangelo sometimes uses dance moves in fights, often when dodging or recovering from moves. Splinter tries to instruct Donatello not to overthink strategy during a fight, and instead live between thoughts. To demonstrate, he launches a training exercise against Michaelangelo, who has just entered the room listening to his music. Mikey nimbly dodges the attacks in time to the music, until Splinter decides the lesson is over and trips him with his tail.
Xever, Shredder's left-hand man, fights with a combination of graceful and powerful Capoeira and dual-wielded butterfly knives, making all four of his extremities deadly weapons. After he mutates into Fishface he loses his combat abilities for a little bit, until Baxter Stockman whips up a pair of robot legs for him, making his Capoeira even more dangerous.
Bebop uses Michael-Jackson-esque dancing in combination with a high-tech suit to keep up with ninjas.
Shinigami uses dancing as well, though not quite as often as others.

Naruto:
The anime and games portray Killer Bee's fighting style laced to the core with hip-hop arm gestures that causes it to resemble capoiera crossed with muay Thai, while armed with 8 swords and Tailed Beast power. This goes hand-in-hand with him being in a perpetual "rap" state of mind. The fact that he raps while fighting causes his opponents to think he's completely bonkers. They may be right.
Madara Uchiha is an infamous Blood Knight who refers to ninja fights as "dance". This page might be the perfect example of it.

Bob Makihara in Tenjho Tenge both practices Capoeira and is able to use the mystical power of rhythm to predict attacks. The series quasi-Big Bad tries to justify the trope, pointing out that much of modern military terminology grew out of dancing, that almost every culture with martial arts had them grow out of an earlier dancing tradition, and that dancers typically make excellent martial artists.

RWBY: A few characters use recognisable dance choreography in their fighting styles which makes it seem like they're combining dance and combat. It's discussed in-universe when Ozpin spots the fight-loving Ruby is not enjoying the school ball; he tries to encourage her by pointing out that the skills required for dancing and combat are very similar. In the same school ball, Jaune, who has no combat training or confidence, is revealed to be a very accomplished dancer, implying he has a better combat foundation than he thinks. It's later confirmed by Pyrrha that Jaune's combat skills are developing faster than normal.
Weiss is able to use her glyphs in combination with Ice Dust to move around the battlefield like an ice skater. She is a fencer and her fencing techniques are combined with figure-skating movements such as pirouettes, leaps, and one-footed glides on her ice sheets.
Mercury exclusively uses his Armed Legs to fight in a style that is a mix between Tae Kwon Do and Capoeria which maximizes the strength of his legs. It makes him look like he's break-dancing.
Neopolitan uses flips and kicks mixed with her Parasol of Pain to dodge and deflect any strikes thrown at her until her opponent gets mad enough for her to beat them.
Tyrian speaks in long, flowery phrases and gesticulates grandly as he talks. He enters battle the way a poet or actor would enter a stage for their scene, and his fighting techniques are similarly grandiose. His style is acrobatic, full of spins, backflips, and somersaults. He often goes down to the ground to use his legs in combat, which makes him appear to be break-dancing. He is a scorpion Faunus and his scorpion tail contributes to his dance style, especially when he looks like he's break-dancing, as he uses both his legs and his tail to strike and defend.
During the Vytal Tournament, Penny Polendina’s fighting style looks quite a bit like she’s dancing. She uses eight floating swords in tandem and controls them via grand arm gestures, flips, and twists, so the dance movements are a necessity.

It's implied that he does a more subtle version during earlier battles against tough foes. At least twice, Dresden has heard him humming "Froggy Goes A-Courtin'" under his breath right before a big battle, implying that he's using it to time his movements.

Spike in Cowboy Bebop is sometimes seen doing this. Jeet Kune Do was developed by Bruce Lee (also an accomplished dancer) as a deliberately showy style, so it fits the trope. Impressive on film, at least as difficult to achieve in animation.

Power Rangers:
Zack Taylor, the first Black Ranger in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, catered to this with an original martial art called Hip Hop Kido.
When Catherine Sutherland ("Kat") started doing more of her own stunt work, she started incorporating some of her ballet training into it.
Power Rangers Jungle Fury had an episode revolving around the Rangers learning to Dance Battle to counter the Monster of the Week.
From Power Rangers RPM: Eka Darville, who plays Scott Truman (Ranger Operator Series Red), is a pretty good break dancer and incorporated a lot of Capoeira-like moves in his fights. It's averted in the case of Olivia Tennet, also an accomplished jazz, tap, and hip hop dancer, as her character (Dr. K) does not perform many physical stunts (except in "Doctor K" and "If Venjix Won").

Discworld:
The 'Stick and Bucket' dance, as performed by the Lancre morris men — we never get to see what it does, but it has a step called 'KILL!' and is particularly effective against The Fair Folk, who are too entranced by the performance to fight back.
It was mentioned in passing Moist von Lipwig's main squeeze, Adora Belle Dearheart, was trained as a ballerina when she was younger and can therefore kick like a mule, presumably quite high. Combined with stiletto heels pointy enough to pierce skin without much effort...

The Vanu Vanu in Final Fantasy XIV are a little unique in that their warriors dance to prevent fighting. Part of Vanu culture is the Sundrop Dance, a dance performed by warriors before a battle. The dance fully displays a warrior's strength and can cow weaker opponents with the demonstration alone.

Seventh Endmost Vision has an unusual example of this in Sephiroth. Rather than a more known or common style of this, he uses his Sinister Scythe along with some fancy footwork to do a traditional agrarian harvest dance in battle, which involves a lot of spinning and leaping. Sephiroth uses it to dodge and weave around his opponents, with skill enough that Tifa thinks he'd have made a good candidate for SOLDIER. Notable because Sephiroth is entirely self-taught.

In Spider-Man (PS4), Spidey's fighting style takes major cues from capoeira and lucha libre wrestling with how acrobatic and fast-moving he is. He uses numerous spinning kicks, stays low to the ground when he isn't throwing punches, and often shimmies around his foes' bodies to dodge attacks and put them in holds for throws.

Kung Fu Panda 3: Po trains ribbon dancer Mei Mei to incorporate nunchakus in her dancing, turning her into this trope.
An idea he probably got from Viper. Secrets of the Furious Five shows that before Viper became a kung fu warrior she was the best ribbon dancer in the village, because she was born without fangs and no-one thought she could fight. She proves otherwise when she uses her ribbon dancing skills to take down a gorilla bandit that had defeated her father by wearing poison-proof armor that broke his fangs.

Mugen from Samurai Champloo is untrained in any sort of fighting style, but possess enough raw power and ax-craziness to do whatever feels right to him and still come out on top. His geta sandals have metal plates on the soles◊, so he can block swords with them. The producers call it the "champuru kendo" fighting style. Frequently assumed to have been influenced by break-dancing or capoeira or both.

In the Knights of the Old Republic games, Echani martial arts, especially the ritual forms, are allegedly very close to a dance style. The Mandalorians mock this, calling them "fey dancers with weapons not fit for Mandalorian children." Still, Echani blades are some of the best ones in-game, and the Handmaiden in the second game isn't to be taken lightly.

Metal Gear:
Vamp of Metal Gear Solid 2 does what is best described as a knife-throwing Flamenco. He's modeled after Joaquin Cortez, so it's not all surprising.
After being turned into a cyborg, Raiden makes use of some very flashy moves while fighting. Mostly with breakdancing moves that he shows off a lot in the cutscenes of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
You finally get to experience those moves yourself as it's a part of his moveset in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, as expected the move is great at dealing damage in a wide area to take care of several opponents.

Batman: Arkham Series:
In the downloadable Joker missions of Batman: Arkham Asylum, the Joker seems to use mostly a combination of Capoeira, Drunken Boxing, and lethal novelty toys.
In Batman: Arkham City, Catwoman can be this, since her move set is a lot more fluid and ballet-like than Batman's, who uses more brute strength than acrobatics or gymnastics. And Nightwing is another example, having once been an acrobat himself.
And in Batman: Arkham Origins, the Flashback!Joker you play as can be this, since his fighting moves are the same as in Asylum, while his moves are somersaulting and leap frogs. And all this takes place in the Comedy Club, set to the tune of "The Thieving Magpie Overture" by Gioachino Rossini, doubling as a Shout-Out to the hallucinatory fight scene in A Clockwork Orange.

Exalted:
A Supernatural Martial Arts in this fashion, Dreaming Pearl Courtesan Style, animates props like wide sleeves, fans, sashes, ribbons, etc and uses them to grapple or attack several times in a round. At the top of it, you can turn into a dream-like floating golden serpent... somehow.
Malfeas the Demon City teach his exalts how to be awesome in both dancing and fighting. Crafty players will quickly put two-and-two together and create Combos that combine the benefits of his charms. Incredibly destructive Bollywood dance scene ensues.
A fan supplement introduced the Swaying Grass Dance Style, a supernatural version of capoeira. Notable in being the only martial art that explicitly caters to the iron boot, a kick enhancer that's Exactly What It Says on the Tin, though most players assume that other martial arts that use the cestus and fighting gauntlet also iron boots.

Ghost in the Shell (2017): Major is zapped with a Static Stun Gun, then handcuffed to a stripper pole by yakuza thugs and told to dance for them. Being a battle cyborg Major replies, "I wasn't built to dance" and proceeds to kick their asses. As she's still handcuffed to the pole, it looks a lot like a pole-dancing routine.

Super Robot Wars:
The Fairlions from Original Generation 2 used combat moves based on idol dancing. It is, in fact, one incredibly cute beatdown.
Suzuka in Endless Frontier is a bit of a variation. While she occasionally can hit enemies with her fan dancing, it's real purpose is to control her Puppet Robot... one with a lot of machine guns.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Chris Evans as Captain America; his mother is a theater director and taught him dance early on. The fight choreographers used this to help him with his moves. It's also why he does most of his own stunts — his dance training makes him move differently than others, so it's difficult to replicate how he does it.
In combat, Loki's movements are always fluid and dance-like, and they're deliberately filmed to appear beautiful. In Thor, he uses Gungnir as a pole to propel his body around in order to increase his momentum for a kick in the face. In Thor: Ragnarok's Final Battle, Loki employs acrobatics to avoid being struck by a sword. Tom Hiddleston elaborates on his character's supple physicality in this interview:
Cate Blanchett trained in the Brazilian martial art of capoeira for Hela's fight scenes in Thor: Ragnarok.
Capoeira is also one of the martial arts used by the titular Black Panther. Due to the fact that Capoeira is of an African origin.
In-universe, Avengers: Age of Ultron shows part of Natasha Romanoff's time growing up in the Red Room involved ballet training.

Dungeons & Dragons:
The Dervish Dancer Prestige Class has a vaguely Arabian Nights-flavor to it, including dual-wielding scimitars (and much more easily than a non-Dervish Dancer would, too).
The Battledancer Base Class from Dragon Compendium is, judging from the fluff, directly based off Capoeira. Gameplay-wise it handles like a Monk with some of the special abilities replaced by Bardic Music. This is an update from the equally obscure class from AD&D (notable for the eventual progression to nine attacks out of every two rounds, or double that if hasted, in an age where most others topped out at two attacks per round). The less adventurer-friendly abilities, mostly the ones that required a group of other dancers to perform, were justifiably removed in the transition.
The second edition Sourcebook The Complete Book of Elves introduced Bladesingers, elvish sword dancers who do quite well in combat. This was actually a wizard specialization rather than a pure fighter kit.
The classes from the Tome of Battle can learn from a school allowing them to use a number of special abilities based on their concentration checks. How does this relate to Battledancing? Well, there's a 1st-level Bard spell called undersong that changes concentration checks into perform checks. Used together, they allow characters to perform saves or deal damage based on your perform check. In short, you can be dodging attacks with dance and singing people to death.
The feat Snowflake Wardance from Frostburn and the item Slippers of Battle Dancing from Magic Item Compendium can both make Bards more effective if they dance in combat.
Eilistraee is the Drow goddess of swordplay and dance (among other things). Some rituals of worship and divine magic of her priesthood call to both of these aspects. (Some of her other rituals also involve Nude Nature Dance.)
Dwarven goddess of battle luck and joy of the fray Haela Brightaxe appears constantly dancing and juggling a two-handed sword. Frequently clad only in her long silver hair and beard, at that.
In 5th Edition, the Drunken Master archetype for Monks is written up as someone who uses dancing-like movements that mimic the stumbles and lurches of a drunkard to make it hard for their opponents to predict their actions rather than actually requiring the character to be drunk.

Mortal Kombat:
Mortal Kombat 4: Kai's fighting style is so fast and nimble that it has often been confused with capoiera. One of his moves has him going into a hand stand to kick his opponent.

Avatar: The Last Airbender
Early in the series, Zuko uses Dance Battling quite often. This had the downside of wearing him out within moments, as seen in his fight with Zhao, and he eventually shifted to using more basic forms.
The Crossroads of Destiny: Lampshaded when Sokka and Toph expose Azula and her posse, who had been masquerading as Kyoshi Warriors. Ty Lee attempts to chi block Sokka, which results in very elaborate dodging movements that she compares to dancing.
The Headband: Inverted when Aang and Katara incorporate fighting moves into a dance that ends with them both panting and sweating heavily.
The Firebender Masters: Played straight when Aang and Zuko learn a firebending form that doubles as (and is called) a dance, which the latter is less than enthusiastic about (we later see him using a kick a lot like the one Mugen is doing in the above pic. Except with a lot of fire).
Korra is extremely graceful and uses lots of leaps and spins, in addition to great sweeping gestures with her arms. This, and all of the Dance Battling from the previous show, is Justified by the nature of bending - the movement of the elements flows with the movement of the bender's body, which naturally sometimes calls for something more complicated and expansive than plain old kicks and punches.
Desna and Eska, Korra's cousins, also use a lot of acrobatics in their waterbending.
Suyin Beifong is a dance battler with earthbending and metalbending, in contrast to her sister Lin's more blunt and in-your-face aggressive style. You can also see her style in her former protege Kuvira’s bending.

In Batman: Arkham City, Catwoman can be this, since her move set is a lot more fluid and ballet-like than Batman's, who uses more brute strength than acrobatics or gymnastics. And Nightwing is another example, having once been an acrobat himself.

The Legend of Zelda:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has Flare Dancers, who "dance as they attack". The Gerudo elite guards from Thieves' Hideout fight choreographically as well, and have a flashy attack that performs a Non-Lethal K.O. to Link if it lands.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask:
Odolwa, the Masked Jungle Warrior, is the boss of Woodfall Temple. Due to his erratic movements, which sometimes stem to leaping to a random point in the room and simply dancing without making any strike, (and the fact he summons dungeon-unique beetle-creatures, which Link has to kill, and swarms of flesh-eating locusts, which he can't do anything about), he's often That One Boss for beginners.
Majora itself, specifically Majora's Incarnation. It dances erratically, including moonwalking. Its sole attack is a large sequence of energy spheres.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The Gerudo Champion Urbosa's fighting style is said to resemble that of a dance, according to the description of her scimitar. The Champions' Ballad DLC certainly demonstrates this in a flashback, and the prequel Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity shows it off to the fullest. In battle, she is seen performing graceful and intricate twirls, and even dodges attacks with a subtle turn.

Steven Universe:
Pearl incorporates ballet moves into most of her fighting.
When she's not relying on "Punch things really hard", Garnet tends to incorperate her Vouge/Wakking dancing techniques into her fighting style, giving her much more elaborate and fast handwork. During the Stronger Than You musical number in the episode Jailbreak she takes this even farther to the point that she's almost using her opponent Jasper as a dancing partner as she lays the smackdown.
Gem fusions involving Pearl tend to carry over her ballet tendancies with Opal (Pearl + Amethyst) standing permanently on point and using elegant flips to evade her opponents, Sardonyx (Pearl + Garnet) utilizing a very flashy and elaborate style when using her warhammer and Alexandrite (Garnet + Amethyst + Pearl) adopting more graceful and dance-like movements and poses when utilizing techniques and weapons related to Pearl and her related fusions.

Bayonetta is fond of this, though mostly in cutscenes. Most of her fights with Jeanne are dance battles with guns, on exploding rocks while time is stopped, and has a literal dance battle (a stripper pose off at that!) with one of the Joy enemies that has taken her form in the middle of a level. Three battle techniques, purchasable at Rodin's shop, are dance moves and Climax attacks, which summon large demons, seem to require both an incantation and a short dance.

Kamen Rider:
Ryutaros (Gun Form) in Kamen Rider Den-O combines this with A-Team Firing and Gangsta Style, which together are less than the sum of their parts. His aim is, to put it lightly, horrible.
Kamen Rider Fourze's JK is shown to be a good breakdancer in the opening, and finally busts out his moves when attempting to dodge an attack from Pegasus Zodiarts and defeating three Zodiarts when he's forced to use the Power Dizer.
Averted in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid in the case of Hiro Kagami / Kamen Rider Brave. His "Level 3" form incorporates a dancing video game, but he doesn't dance. Rather, he maintains rhythm to maximize his fighting capabilities due to his proficiency in performing CPR, which can result in broken ribs in the real world.

Never Back Down is a fight movie. In one scene, we have a dreadlocked Dance Battle guy and his uninteresting looking opponent. After half a minute of showboating, however, he manages to frontflip himself right into a thunderous single punch, which lays him right out.

Robin from Teen Titans (2003) is this, to varying degrees of realism. The blatantness of it varies, but it's extremely apparent when he's fighting against someone else who excels at martial arts (most notably Red X, who is also a Dance Battler, as he shares Robin's style of fighting) or someone whose fighting style involves being huge and throwing a lot of heavy things at him.

The King of Fighters:
Both versions of the Orochi teamnote formerly known as the New Face Team. have this premise.
Some of Yashiro's basic moves (namely his kicks, such as his sweeping kick) are similar to Capoeira.
In her normal version, Shermie's battle stance shows she's actually dancing. In the Orochi version, Shermie still uses some moves that simulate dance passes.
Chris is not an isolated case, starting with him walking backwards as he does the classic Moonwalk. In his normal The King of Fighters '97 version, he has a taunt that he gives three clicks like he's pacing a song.
Momoko in XI uses Capoeira... or so she says, but it's hard to tell given that she's so tiny. Robert Garcia is also constantly dancing in his regular stance, although he doesn't use capoeira like the others. He just really likes dancing in place like that.
Zarina from XIV also uses Capoeira as her fighting style.
Chizuru Kagura's fighting style seems to resembles the traditional Shinto dances performed during festivals. Makes sense since Chizuru herself is the Ojou and a Shinto priestess.

Noah figures out she's an Off-Sender from her clothes, and realizes she's attacking in the same rhythm as the Agnian sending song, seizing back the momentum by attacking in counter-time and knowing she's committed to her next movement.

Persona:
Persona 4: Yukiko Amagi's fighting style takes cues from Japanese fan dances. Her movements in the original game are stilted and amateurish, but by the time of Persona 4: Arena, she wields her Combat Hand Fans with graceful precision.
Persona 5 Royal: Kasumi Yoshizawa's fighting style is based on her rhythmic gymnastics, wielding a rapier with fluid, flexible movements and occasionally throwing in a ribbon dance.

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
The game has an old card called Performance of Sword, a Warrior who apparently does this. Unfortunately, she's a Ritual Monster with less attack power than most basic monsters and no special effect.
The "Cyber Girl" archetype is mainly composed of monsters that look like women from different forms of gymnastics, including figure skating (Blade Skater) and ballet (Cyber Tutu and Cyber Tutubon).

During the climax of Robots, Fender loses his shield and weapon while being surrounded by Madame Gasket's minions, prompting him to start dancing (to "...Baby, One More Time" by Britney Spears of all things), which somehow prompts the minions to dance as well, allowing him to easily knock all of them out.

Maractus from Pokémon Black and White is apparently this, judging by its name and Pokédex entry. Lilligant also has shades of this, only learning moves with the word "Dance" in them aside from the moves it starts with. The legendary Pokémon Meloetta is normally a Musical Assassin, but its alternate Pirouette Form resembles a ballerina and changes its secondary type from Psychic to Fighting, making it a clear-cut example of this trope.
Lilligant, in Hisui's time period, was also a ballet-themed Pokémon and also carried the Fighting-type. The leaf-like dress that modern Lilligant have is replaced by a leotard, allowing her legs free movement. Due to her attacking primarily with her legs and being an all-female species, this would make Hisuian Lilligant a Kick Chick as well.

In A Song of Ice and Fire, Arya Stark is trained by Syrio Forel to be a "water dancer", a Fragile Speedster kind of warrior. Syrio himself demonstrates the fact that he's a Master Swordsman in the first book by fighting off half a dozen armed and armored guards...with a wooden practice sword. An enemy fully encased in plate seems to be an effective counter though, at least without a metal sword.

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple:
Seigfried essentially uses a more defensively orientated version of this. He encourages his opponents to get in close and attack him, then secretly uses dancing-like skills to dodge their blow and fling himself around to fake being hit. This lets him wear down and psyche out his opponents, who come to believe he's incapable of feeling pain.
Miu has a bit of this in her personal fighting style, with it focusing more on grace, acrobatic movements, and gymnastics.

A couple characters in One Piece fight this way, a prominent example being Sanji, who fights entirely with his legs and whose style is based partly on Savate (martial arts developed by French sailors). And then there's Mr. 2 Bon Kurei, who practices Okama Kenpo (weaponized ballet), and Boa Hancock, the Empress of the Amazon Lily island who fights with spinning kicks.

Pokémon:
In Pokémon Colosseum Miror B. and his team of Ludicolo dance to a salsa beat while they wait for you to select your next move. Additionaly, his music in XD is disco.
Hitmontop's attacks are all based on Capoiera and breakdancing, as well as its Japanese name, Kapoerer.
Medicham is based on Arabian Belly Dancers with its fighting style described by the Pokédex as elegant and dance-like.
Maractus from Pokémon Black and White is apparently this, judging by its name and Pokédex entry. Lilligant also has shades of this, only learning moves with the word "Dance" in them aside from the moves it starts with. The legendary Pokémon Meloetta is normally a Musical Assassin, but its alternate Pirouette Form resembles a ballerina and changes its secondary type from Psychic to Fighting, making it a clear-cut example of this trope.
Lilligant, in Hisui's time period, was also a ballet-themed Pokémon and also carried the Fighting-type. The leaf-like dress that modern Lilligant have is replaced by a leotard, allowing her legs free movement. Due to her attacking primarily with her legs and being an all-female species, this would make Hisuian Lilligant a Kick Chick as well.
There are a few dance-themed moves than can make many Pokemon into this by default, such as Petal Dance, Teeter Dance, and Quiver Dance. There's also Fiery Dance (which only Volcarona can learn) and Lunar Dance (only learnable by Cresselia, and its Signature Move).
Oricorio from Pokémon Sun and Moon is a Flying-type Pokemon with moves based on one of four different dance styles, each with a different primary type: Baile Style (Fire/Flying), Pom-Pom Style (Electric/Flying), Pa'u Style (Psychic/Flying), and Sensu Style (Ghost/Flying). Its ability, Dancer, even lets it automatically copy dance-based moves used by other Pokemon.
The Quaxly line of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are birds that fight via dancing moves, giving them a Water/Fighting Typing. Quaxwell's stance is that of a ballet dancer while Quaquaval is a Samba dancer.

In The Three Caballeros, at the climax of Donald Duck and Joe's visit to Bahia, two men get into what is probably supposed to be a Capoeira fight (which would make sense since the martial art has origins in Brazil). Their shadows even temporarily take the form of two roosters fighting, which is said to be what Capoeira takes its name from. However, they seem to be doing more dancing than they are fighting.

Disco Kid of Punch-Out!! Wii, as his name suggests, disco dances in the ring about as much as he boxes, and dances even more outside of it. He even has his own disco ball above the ring. His Contender-version boxing style incorporates some rhythm, but it's even more noticeable in Title Defense, where he also incorporates aerobics, and starts doing jumping jack hooks and the "Disco Flurry" move.

Tekken:
Eddy Gordo and his student Christie both use Capoeira. Christie's grandfather uses the same technique, having taught them both, but is not playable in any of the games.
Tiger from Tekken Tag Tournament also uses Capoeira.
And as if Eddy wasn't Capoerista enough, Real-life capoerista Lateef Crowder plays him in the live-action adaptation.
She doesn't know Capoeira, but Emilie "Lili" de Rochefort uses ballet style fighting moves which she calls "street fighting".
Lucky Chloe plays this more straight, practicing no formal martial art but using her dance prowess to go toe-to-toe with other fighters.

Final Fantasy:
The Dancer job in Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV, and Final Fantasy Tactics.
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core has the second encounter with Genesis.
Rikku's Berserker Dress Sphere in Final Fantasy X-2 does Capoeira movements in her idle animation. There's also the Songstress Dress Sphere which has several dances as offensive attacks though they usually just cause status changes.
Penelo in general.
The Calca and Brina dolls in Final Fantasy IV (and its sequel, where they are playable characters).
If Kefka's line of "Dance, Dance!" and his actions when casting "Zap-Trap Thundaga" in the Dissidia subseries of Final Fantasy is anything to go by, apparently he utilizes this trope, presumably under Type D (i.e., because he's completely insane).
In Final Fantasy XIII and its sequel, the Demon enemy subtype fights by dancing around the battlefield. It's even stated in some of the game's lore that dancers mimic the demon's movements.
The Vanu Vanu in Final Fantasy XIV are a little unique in that their warriors dance to prevent fighting. Part of Vanu culture is the Sundrop Dance, a dance performed by warriors before a battle. The dance fully displays a warrior's strength and can cow weaker opponents with the demonstration alone.

Trigun Stampede gives both superhuman twins Vash and Knives dance-like fighting moves, but in different ways. Vash engages in goofy dodges, jumps, twists and spins (even performing a pirouette at one point) to frustrate his opponent into giving up because he makes battle look silly. Knives performs precise kicks, punches and spins that look balletic and graceful, and inevitably lead to somebody losing a limb or being stabbed to death with the blades on his hands and feet.

Like Serenity above, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles makes great use of Summer Glau's ballet background. While Cameron, being a Terminator, does rely on strength, she's much smaller than most of the Terminators she fights and therefore needs to be agile as well.

Game of Thrones:
The show gives us Oberyn Martell, who's going into some impressive acrobatics during his fight against the Mountain. He learnt his skills in Gladiator Games where putting on a show is as important as killing. Doesn't help him much in the fight though.
As in the book, Aria learns the "water dancing" fencing style. It's been frequently shown to be superior to standard Westerosi fighting styles (with young Arya easily defeating grown men who are professional soldiers)... unless your opponent has heavy armor, in which case it's all but useless.
As a eunuch, Grey Worm is athletic but not particularly large, so he fights in a very light and graceful way...at least when he's not using Shield Bash.

In combat, Loki's movements are always fluid and dance-like, and they're deliberately filmed to appear beautiful. In Thor, he uses Gungnir as a pole to propel his body around in order to increase his momentum for a kick in the face. In Thor: Ragnarok's Final Battle, Loki employs acrobatics to avoid being struck by a sword. Tom Hiddleston elaborates on his character's supple physicality in this interview:

In Sequel-Prequel to Shrek, Puss in Boots, Puss has a literal Dance Battle with the masked Kitty Softpaws, dancing vertically up the walls, against each other's boots, and incorporating some fencing.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Sonic has some breakdancing-inspired fight moves in Sonic Battle. As a possible Continuity Nod, one of his taunts in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a breakdance move, Sonic Generations reveals that Classic Sonic used to spin on his hand, with Modern Sonic being able to do this.
Sonic the Werehog uses breakdancing extensively in his fighting style as well. Thanks to his unique body shape compared to his regular form, breakdancing ends up being one of the easiest ways for him to throw his weight around when it comes to stringing together punches, kicks and slashes.
Blaze The Cat is also a very dance heavy fighter, though inspired by ballet instead of breakdancing. Her fighting style tends to involve a lot of graceful leaps, spins and flips that make her look as if she's in the middle of an ice skating routine when paired with her long, striding gait when at full speed.
In Sonic Adventure, Tails could obtain the Rhythm Badge as a power-up while in the Ancient Echidna City that allows him to do an infinite, continuous Tail Swipe. The animation of such involves Tails transitioning between different breakdancing positions in order to keep momentum.

Super Sentai:
In Battle Fever J it's taken to the extreme; all the members use different dance styles in their attacks - Battle France uses tapdancing, Battle Cossack does Cossack jig dancing, Battle Kenya does a strange breakdancing-tribal dance fusion, Battle Japan uses Chinese kung fu katas, and Miss America uses disco moves to fight. However, this is partially justified in that the agent who employed them regularly trains them in Martial Arts.
Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger has shades of this, but it's nowhere near Battle Fever J's usage.

Fairy Tail:
Vijeeter Ecor's magic is applied through dancing and empowers allies and hinders enemies in a surrounding 10 m radius.
Invoked in the fight between Gray and Cancer's Eclipse form, though the latter did need to provide Gray with enchanted shoes and to forcibly remove his sense of shame in order to get him to dance at all. The first part of the fight was a regular dance-off and was followed up with greater emphasis on the 'battle' side. Gray freezes the floor at one point to make it an ice-dancing bout.

M3GAN: A scene that quickly went memetic from the moment it appeared in the trailer has the titular Robot Girl villain dancing as she attacks a security guard. From what is seen earlier in the trailer, she apparently learned how to dance from Cady, the human girl who she was built as a robotic companion for. Amie Donald, the actress who does her physical movements,note Her voice acting is done separately by Jenna Davis. is a professional dancer.

Warhammer 40,000:
Harlequins' style of combat describes how they move about the battlefield with dancing gestures, tearing opponents to shreds in the process.
The first Path that Yvraine, the Emissary of Ynnead, trod was the Path of the Dancer and she still fights with the fluid grace that she learned during this time. During her battle with the daemons of Slaanesh on the Crone World of Belial IV, this training allowed her to reproduce the battle dance of the Harlequins to combat the hordes of Daemonettes that she faced.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask:
Odolwa, the Masked Jungle Warrior, is the boss of Woodfall Temple. Due to his erratic movements, which sometimes stem to leaping to a random point in the room and simply dancing without making any strike, (and the fact he summons dungeon-unique beetle-creatures, which Link has to kill, and swarms of flesh-eating locusts, which he can't do anything about), he's often That One Boss for beginners.
Majora itself, specifically Majora's Incarnation. It dances erratically, including moonwalking. Its sole attack is a large sequence of energy spheres.

Child of the Storm:
In the first book, Betsy and Fandral, having had a one-night stand previously, share a telepathically coordinated English folk-dance through a battlefield, to lethal effect.
In the sequel, Harry, already noted for his grace and reflexes, becomes an accomplished classical and Latin dancer (as he smugly explains, Asgardian muscle memory is good for more than just fighting). He incorporates this into his fighting style, with the narration frequently describing him as "dancing" in a fight, whether it's between chaos blasts or lightning bolts. And, appropriately, his sword is modelled on a shashka, the Russian Cossack sabre, famous for its use in sword-dancing.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron has Armaros, whose first boss fight only features him dancing in the foreground, while Enoch fights his... backup dancers. When you take control of him, his actual fighting style is pretty dance like as well, and you can actually make him dance outside of combat if you feel like it. One of Enoch's weapons, Gale, is commanded through dance-like movements while on the ground as well. It is possible to wield the Gale in the aforementioned boss fight.

Soul Series:
Talim's discipline is categorized as "Wind Dance" in-game. She is a priestess of a village that controlled wind through ritual dance that involved the use of tonfa-like elbow blades.
Xianghua's fighting style combines fencing and feints with ballerina style movement, used for evasion and to position her to attack. Which gives her one of the most fluid styles in any fighting game and makes her difficult to read when mastered.
The Dancer class in Soul Calibur III, whose Tambourine discipline blends elements of Capoeira with moves borrowed from Voldo and Xianghua's skill set.
Voldo frequently fights like this. Only it's not so much awe-inspiring as it is utterly creepy-looking.

Pokémon: The Series:
Ash develops the "Counter Shield" technique, which amounts to any Pokemon called to do it breakdancing while using a special attack, which creates a spinning vortex of the said attack, which keeps an opponent's attack from making contact.
Rudy, from the Orange Islands, makes his Pokémon dance as an exercise. He even has a Starmie who is "proficient in modern dancing" to help it dodge attacks and has enough spinning power to generate an Electric attack despite being a Water type.
An episode is about a girl whose Bellossom fought and dodged this way.
In XY, Serena's Pancham includes his performance skills when he is battling.
This is Tierno's main battle strategy in the XY and XYZ anime. Tierno's a dancer, who taught his pokemon dance moves in order to easily evade attacks from other pokemon, while striking back with (often accurate) moves of his own. His team also consist of pokemon known for their dance moves, such as Hitmontop and Ludicolo, as well as his (break)dancing Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise and Raichu.
Subverted in one episode when Ash's Bulbasaur whoops a girl's Hitmontop because she concentrated too much on dancing and not on actually fighting.

Kingsman: The Secret Service: Gazelle's fighting style is extremely graceful and lethal, focusing on her bladed leg prosthetics. She even uses classic breakdancing techniques in the climax. Appropriately, she is played by Sofia Boutella, a professional dancer.
The King's Man: In the prequel, Rasputin the Mad Monk combines martial arts and a knife with ballet and Russian folk dancing. It seems to be in-universe as well, as Orlando mocks him by asking if he's a monk or a ballet dancer and he does some leaps and squats in the fight just because he can.

In Erfworld, there's dance-fighting, an In-Universe game mechanic certain commanders can use to empower units under their command via dance, music, and rhythm. Erfworld being the World of Symbolism that it is, many styles of dance-fighting are references to real-world music (Transylvito units evoke West Side Story, Wanda and her Uncroaked dance to the tune of "Thriller", etc.).
Rocking out, a stronger version of dance-fighting granted by the Arkenhammer, is also occasionally used by its wielder, Stanley.

Korra is extremely graceful and uses lots of leaps and spins, in addition to great sweeping gestures with her arms. This, and all of the Dance Battling from the previous show, is Justified by the nature of bending - the movement of the elements flows with the movement of the bender's body, which naturally sometimes calls for something more complicated and expansive than plain old kicks and punches.

Unlike the rest of the series the Dancer class in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is not locked to one specific unit. With every student having the possibility of gaining acces to the class, though you still only get one per playthrough unless you utilize New Game+. The class itself also gained some massive upgrades towards it's combat capabilities. With it gaining access to magic, a skill that boosts the Dancers evasion when wielding a sword and a dancer exclusive combat art that deals extra damage based on the unit's charm stat.

Queens of Mewni:
Solena the Smitten would be the foremother of this trope in the Butterfly Kingdom, thanks to her interest in and being part of a ballet troupe.
Her descendant, Skywynne, Queen of Hours, would expand on this and become quite adept of marrying her time spells onto this trope, thanks to just being more talented in dancing than in singing.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker has Michael Jackson going around various stages... rescuing little kids from suit-clad gangsters. His moves? High dance-kick, spin-and-throw-hat, and the special "make everyone imitate your dance and then fall over and die when they can't keep up with your straight, 45-degree angle pose".

In Battle Fever J it's taken to the extreme; all the members use different dance styles in their attacks - Battle France uses tapdancing, Battle Cossack does Cossack jig dancing, Battle Kenya does a strange breakdancing-tribal dance fusion, Battle Japan uses Chinese kung fu katas, and Miss America uses disco moves to fight. However, this is partially justified in that the agent who employed them regularly trains them in Martial Arts.

And in Batman: Arkham Origins, the Flashback!Joker you play as can be this, since his fighting moves are the same as in Asylum, while his moves are somersaulting and leap frogs. And all this takes place in the Comedy Club, set to the tune of "The Thieving Magpie Overture" by Gioachino Rossini, doubling as a Shout-Out to the hallucinatory fight scene in A Clockwork Orange.

BoxxyQuest: The Gathering Storm has a weird little miniboss called the Funky Infoshade hidden in a back corner of The Spire. It starts the fight by Summoning Backup Dancers, mainly uses attacks that involve dancing, and heals to full every three turns thanks to the “funky battle music,� making the fight a bit of a pain if you don’t plan carefully. A harder “Echo� version shows up later in the Sky Abyss, and this time you have to beat it within only two turns.

BlazBlue:
Hazama Honoka has a fighting style that resembles the dance moves of Michael Jackson. This, combined with his outfit and villainous role, has lead to fans nicknaming him "The Smooth Criminal." His inhabitor, Yuuki Terumi, has some of his dance-like animations as well as a few of his own, but for the most part, his fighting style is brutish and savage.
Amane Nishiki uses ribbon dancing to create drills as well as grab his enemies and toss them about. He even refers to combat as another form of dancing.
In the fourth game, Hades Izanami, the goddess of death, also reveals herself as a dance battler. Her dance is specifically based upon the Tandaava, the dance with which Shiva unmakes the universe.

Whilst not as elaborate as some examples listed here, the combat system used by Witchers is often described as using pirouettes, spins, and flowing movements. The highly agile style is used because when you're dealing with a 50-ton monster from the darkest depths, conventional blocking just doesn't work.

Starting with Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi Goku's older brother Raditz is portrayed as using a much flashier fighting style than the norm for Saiyans, employing lots of spinning kicks and chopping strikes that wouldn't look out of place in a breakdancing/vouge routine.
Zangya's grab attack incorporates ballet finesse and her Sky Zapper consists of meticulous and graceful spinning kicks.
Supreme Kai's Crazy Rush is very similar to Zangya's Sky Zapper, but he keeps his hands behind his back the whole time.

The Wheel of Time (2021):
Aiel warrior woman Tigraine has a fighting style some have described as ballet-like, using two spears as she swirls and flows around her opponents, with her being only slightly impeded by the fact that she's nine months pregnant plus in labor at the time (making it all the more impressive to watch).note This showcases the reason why Aiel call fighting "the dance" in the books very well visually.
Aviendha, another Aiel warrior woman, is shown nimbly taking down multiple armed Whitecloaks bare-handed with Perrin in Season 2 as she acrobatically dances around and onto them while she's evading their swords.
