Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Dance-Off is a type of contest, but rather than one anyone can enter, it's a form of duel between two or more mutual antagonists, either singular or more commonly groups. For one reason or another, one dancer or group of dancers (often the Dancing Royalty) is convinced their moves are the best, the sweetest, the most unbeatable. But someone else challenges them, to knock them down a few pegs, or for the attention of a Love Interest. The Trope is usually a fun or comedy trope but can venture into Duel to the Death territory if the stakes become high enough. The challenge does not even have to be formally made. Usually the dancers take turns showing off their increasingly elaborate moves until one person or group concedes they have nothing left. Or they can't match the moves of the other. OR one or both dancers themselves into collapsing from exhaustion. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })While it is possible for a participant to be a Dance Battler, that trope is not employed here; the dance-off does not contain actual combat. Dance Off is a Sister Trope to Cooking Duel, wherein the duel is usually something silly for silly reasons with silly weapons of choice. Compare Battle of the Bands. When competing over a Love Interest, this trope revolves around Artists Are Attractive. Examples: |

There's a brief dance-off before Daffy tries to beat Bugs at something new.

Cats Don't Dance: Danny and Sawyer conduct one of these during an impromptu talent show near Mammoth Studios, complete with Trash-Can Band. Tillie's hip toss sends Sawyer reeling into the spotlight, where she takes a few blithe steps and poses. "Not bad," comments Danny, "A little rusty, but hey, who's perfect?" Giving Danny a Death Glare, Sawyer snarls, "I'll give you rusty." The two Funny Animal felines then take turns out-stepping each other, culminating in a pirouette and dip finale... and an Almost Kiss. | |

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Subverted and Played for Laughs. Peter Quill challenges Ronan to a dance off at the film's climax. Ronan, being a Proud Warrior Race Guy, has no idea what Quill is on about, and just looks on with absolute confusion. Even Gamora is flabbergasted. Quill then reveals that this trope is just a distraction for his friends to attack. An outtake of the scene has Ronan accepting the challenge and dancing too. | |

WWE has had a few over the years, but are usually played for laughs. After losing to WWE's resident Faux Action Girl, Stacy Keibler, Molly Holly challenged her to a contest of her choice. Stacy chose a dance-off, as she was a professional dancer (she broke into the business as WCW's new Nitro Girl in 1999). Molly wound up playing the role of Inept Talent Show Contestant. While she was Fandango's dance partner, Summer Rae challenged Emma to one in 2014. Emma, who was portrayed as a comedy character when she first came up from NXT, didn't take the contest seriously, doing moves like "The Shopping Cart". |

In The Angry Birds Movie 2 several members of the team infiltrate the Eagles' base by operating an eagle costume. However, they are so clumsy with the controls that they cause the costume to breakdance in front of a guard. This puts the guard in a dancing mood. When the team cause this to happen a second time in front of the same guard, the guard promptly challenges them to a Dance Off to the tune of "Axel F" (aka Beverly Hills Cop's Theme Tune). Made even more hilarious since he is joined by every other Eagle guard. | |

Bayonetta In the first game, she does this with an angel who poses as her and tried to take Cereza away. Bayonetta wins, pissing off the angel enough to attack her and reveal her true form. In the third game, an enemy with a grudge against her greets her with a dance-off which she reciprocates before they immediately engage in a duel to the death. The third game also has a subversion that is played for tragedy. When the Big Bad uses an army of Puppeteer Parasite to force innocent humans to dance off against Bayonetta, she sneers in disgust and promptly commands her most destructive demon to Mercy Kill those humans as quickly as possible. |

Earth Girls Are Easy: An unnamed man steps into Deca Dance and sees Zeebo dancing with a pretty black woman. He sneers at Zeebo's moves and tells the girl "why dance with a zero when you can dance with a hero?" The girl is happy to dance with whomever. Zeebo, offended at having been cut in on, attempts to dance with her as well, but the new guy is not having it and challenges him. The new guy pulls out his best moves. Zeebo, who has an incredible mimicry ability because he's an alien, watches for a second, matches him move for move, and then completely mops the floor with him with acrobatic moves the new guy can't match. | |

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa: Makunga tricks Alex into challenging his henchman Teetsi into a fight as part of his plan to banish him forever. Alex thinks it's a "dance fight" and when his interpretive West Side Story like dancing proved to be no match for Teetsi; he quickly defeats him. It not only results in Makunga to become the Alpha Lion and banish Alex permanently, it forces him to wear the 'Hat of Shame' (actually a Carmen Miranda style fruit hat). However, it causes him to almost have his friends leave him for what he had done. | |

Spoofed during the Saturday Night Live Black Swan parody sketch here. Who gets to be the "Swan Queen" and therefore portray both the White Swan and the Black Swan is decided in a dance-off between Nina (Nasim Pedrad) and Lily (Jim Carrey) in which the latter acts like a real swan. Nina wins because when Lily climbed on Thomas (Bill Hader), the latter finally realized that "Lily" was a man. | |

A sketch in Robot Chicken has the Voltron team settle a battle against a Robeast this way. They defeat the Robeast traditionally via Blazing Sword, but news prioritized more on them getting "served" in the dance-off beforehand. | |

Truth Martini held his own unauthorized ROH event over the fact the promotion wouldn't give him "enough" time to host "pants off dance offs" between his perky female minions. Davey Richards, Silas Young, even Satan disapproved. | |

Aja Perera and Kimber Lee had a dance off while they wrestled in SHINE's 2019 Nova Vacancy Tournament. Fans wanted dancing from Lee, who at first declined until Perera started dancing in Lee's holds to show how ineffective they were leading Lee to block, dodge and counter Perera's altogether with dance moves. The wrestling was competitive and ultimately inconclusive thanks to BTY, but the dancing was dominated by the classically trained Lee even though she couldn't twerk. | |

Dancing was taken very seriously in ECW. An entire feud, The Blue Meanie and Super Nova vs. the FBI (Tracy Smothers, Little Guido Maritato and "The Big Don" Tommy Rich) was started over Smothers being a particularly awful dancer, though very much Played for Laughs The Public Enemy belong on that list as well. |

Mario Party DS: In the minigame Boogie Beam, all players are standing over the lower border of a billboard and dance while listening to the Underground theme of Super Mario Bros.. From time to time, one or more characters will be illuminated by a source of light, and those characters have to show a specific pose while the others (who aren't being illuminated) have to show another. Showing the correct pose yields one point. After 30 seconds, whoever scored the most points wins. | |

Wander over Yonder: In "The Party Animal", Emperor Awesome challenges Wander to a dance-off because he's offended that anyone can party as hard as he can. While he's taking it deadly seriously, Wander treats it like the most fun ever, and easily wins both the contest and the adoration of the crowd. Meanwhile, Awesome tires himself out because he can't keep up with Wander's manic energy and leaves the planet humiliated. | |
