Dances and Balls	comment	Dancing. An occasion for gathering and celebrating. Also for gossip, intrigue, and romance. Often occurs at other celebrations, such as a feast. The terms tend to be "balls" for Blue Blood and Royal Blood guests (expect Gorgeous Period Dress and Ermine Cape Effect, and certainly Pimped Out Dresses, as balls would be occasions when they pulled out the stops), and "dances" for more common sorts of folk. Straitlaced members of society may disapprove of the frivolity, particularly if serious things are going on. And when these serious things are war, famine, pestilence, and the like, they don't have to be very straitlaced. Quite often in a story, Dances and Balls will be used as an opportunity to show that a Beautiful All Along girl (sometimes, but less common, guy) cleans up nicely (to the amazement of fellow protagonists). Other times, it will be used to show that the protagonist (particularly if it's a male lead) is virtuous and cannot understand the snooty ways of aristocrats. Expect a scene where he says he hates dancing or just plain can't dance (Though if he can get into it, he will find he really can dance.) If a character is a Fake Aristocrat this will be the ultimate test of their facade. Super-Trope of High-School Dance, Dance of Romance, and Masquerade Ball. In an action series, expect a Ballroom Blitz. Compare Dance Line (if people who were just watching are drawn in), At the Opera Tonight.

The sequel of Child of the Storm includes the Yule Ball, with Harry and Carol going together, with Harry having also arranged Diana's attendance as a Shipper on Deck for her and Ginny. The results are largely very sweet, and quite funny, with Harry and Carol at one point dancing the Mambo, which Harry learned from Bucky Barnes.

There is a ball in the Witches Abroad novel — central to it. And while wizards don't have balls either (ahem), they do hold their annual Excuse Me. A ball also happens near the end of Night Watch, and sets the scene for Lord Winder's assassination.

The ball for Oz's coming of age ceremony at the very beginning of the series ends up with the Baskervilles attacking and Oz getting thrown into the Abyss. The next major ball we see occurs during the Isla Yura arc in his manor. It begins with beautiful clothes, sparkles, and humorous encounters. It ends with blood, fire, torture, brainwashing, and death.

Dances and Balls / int_5271c9f8	comment	To Shape a Dragon's Breath has the Valkyrafax celebration which centers—after the rite of the Valkyrja—on an evening ball for the students, complete with fancy dress and dancing (and dance cards); since the school is dominantly male, male students are encouraged to invite sisters or other female relatives to interact with. Anequs and Theod are persuaded to attend for social appearances; Theod had been able to avoid it last year and sneak off, but Anequs as the only other female student really has to make an appearance for social propriety and Theod finds himself obliged with her presence. She does two dances—one with Theod, and one with Sander—before she and Theod slip off to celebrate with the staff at the more comfortable-for-them Bonfire Dance.

At the time she, Zen, and Izana all knew that someone they couldn't find was looking to kidnap her so she ended up being sent anyway to get her away from her potential kidnapper in Clarines. She doesn't get to attend the ball anyway as she is kidnapped right before it starts. It's later revealed Mitsuhide and Kiki met at a ball when she went to the same shadowed alcove to avoid the other nobles as Mitsuhide was already hiding in. Mitsuhide actually gives hiding as advice for what to do at formal royal gatherings of all kinds even if he can no longer get away with it due to his position. He is noticeably uncomfortable whenever he has to attend one.

One particular instance that stands out is when he not only has to attend a dance ball but must crossdress while doing so (complete with an infamouscorsettightening scene). And he must avoid his fiancee Elizabeth from noticing lest he be humiliated. Hilarity Ensues. Surprisingly averted after that, though, as the artist's assistants lampshade and lament in the authors' notes of vol. 21.

Derek is the only one who knows that Odette is not dead but under a curse from Rothbart that can only be broken with a public declaration of love, which he intends to do at the ball. Rothbart finds out, however, and disguises his assistant as Odette, making Derek do a Mistaken Declaration of Love that nearly kills Odette. There is also a ball during Odette and Derek's fateful last meeting before Odette is cursed, where Derek accidentally insults Odette by saying he loves her for her beauty, but can't name any other reasons.

Dances and Balls / int_701f0ece	comment	In the world of Berserk, the only way for the aristocracy to deal with the constant war, turmoil, and bloodshed that they put their citizens and troops through is to hold pimped-out balls for themselves, even if they all end on a horrible note: First, the King of Midland holds a ball for Princess Charlotte to which Griffith is invited to. Later that evening, it was announced that Duke Julius and his son were assassinated by a plot that Griffith orchestrated. He was pleased with the news, to say the least. Very pleased. Later, the King holds a dance ball for the Band of Hawk after their victory. All the members of the Band of Hawk dress fancily as nobles. Both Caska and Guts are shown to be extremely uncomfortable at such fancy social events (especially while wearing such frilly and expensive clothing instead of armor). For Caska, however, the series made it clear that She Cleans Up Nicely, despite her b. (And Guts' reaction makes it even better). Oh, and then a botched assassination attempt happened on Griffith by the Queen and her mooks. Don't worry, Griffith is alive and well in order to burn the Queen and her mooks alive with the help of another mook who he had blackmailed into helping him. A few volumes later, Farnese is shown attending a ball that her rich, aristocratic father hosts. There she dances with her fiancee, Roderick. Of course, true to Berserk fashion, the party ends with huge amounts of violence and bloodshed via demonic tigers and soldiers from Kushan. What better way to end a grand evening in the Berserkerverse?

Dances and Balls / int_71b83e8	comment	The climax of Earthsong happens at a ball that Earthsong holds for Willow. The argument it causes beforehand is also significant; while they decide to hold it as a morale booster in spite of the danger from Beluosus, Gwendolyn blows up at the thought of wasting any time on frivolity. Beluosus and his forces attack during the celebration, resulting in several characters being Killed Off for Real. Gwendolyn helps him get in; she is partly mind-controlled, but was particularly susceptible because of her anger and unhappiness.

Midway through Barbie as the Island Princess, Ro attends Antonio and Luciana's engagement ball, where she gets her requisite Pimped-Out Dress.

The final act of Barbie: Princess Charm School is set at the coronation ball for Gardania's next princess. Barbie in the Pink Shoes: Again, Barbie recreates the ballroom scene from Swan Lake, but this time, turns it into a pas de trois when Odette arrives at the ball while Odile is trying to seduce the prince. Barbie: The Pearl Princess features an undersea ball in the mermaid realm. Barbie and the Secret Door: Princess Alexa returns to home just in time for a ball. After dancing classically for a bit, she turns it into a twenty-first-century Dance Party Ending.

The clueless principal ends the dance by handing out detention slips to people who are dead. Even more hilariously, the vampires are only able to get in because they were invited. After all, they are seniors!

Dances and Balls / int_c3a5fa9	comment	The beginning of the first episode of the third season of Robin of Sherwood, "Herne's Son Part 1", takes place at a party hosted by the Earl of Huntingdon. It's attended by Marion of Leaford and her father Sir Richard, the Sheriff of Nottingham, his brother, and Sir Guy of Gisburne, as well as Lord Owen of Clunn, the Big Bad of the episode. When Marion dances with the Earl's son Robert (who's about to become the new Robin Hood), there's instant romantic tension; when she dances with Gisburne, it's all icy politeness on her part and thinly veiled insults on his part; with Owen of Clunn, it's clear she'd rather be anywhere else, and he's being a huge creep who clearly wants her and could not care less for how she feels about it.

Dances and Balls / int_d7aab7c1	comment	Sailor Moon had practically one each season: An early manga chapter features the girls sneaking into an embassy where a princess is hosting a masked ball to show off her family's jewels, suspecting this might be the Moon Princess and the Silver Crystal. They're wrong, but at least Usagi gets to dance with Mamoru. This story is adapted in most versions of the series, though the live-action show changes it to a Halloween party. One season one episode has Usagi enroll in a finishing school hosted by a European countess, where she fails at pretty much everything. The final test is a ball, where the other girls sneak in, too. Unfortunately, the whole thing is a trap, knowing a graceless klutz like Sailor Moon would never pass. Luckily for Usagi, Rei and Minako are as graceless as she is, and the three manage to escape in time in the confusion. The same episode also briefly has Usagi dream about a Christmas ball, once again in her princess disguise. A flashback episode reveals they used to have lavish balls on the Moon Kingdom. Prince Endymion snuck into one with a mask to meet with Princess Serenity, marking the origin of his Tuxedo Mask alter-ego. The third season has another English aristocrat hosting a lavish ball for the local university students. The girls tag along as Mamoru is friends with the man. Unfortunately, the villains are targeting the man and sneak into the ball. "Cinderella" and Swan Lake get name-dropped in the showdown. Another third season episode notably had the Monster of the Day trap the girls in the middle of a battle in an illusion where they are dancing with handsome boys. It worked until the electric tentacles came out... The fourth season features a less formal dance party hosted by the college. It seems conflated with a School Festival, with food stands, but dancing is the main event. Tiger's Eye sneaks into the dance to target Makoto. The girls wore formal dresses like in the third season story, but Motoki's sister, Unazuki, dressed like she was going to a rave, making one wonder what the dress code was. At the end of the story, it's mentioned a local high school is planning a similar dance party. Even the Toonmakers' Sailor Moon briefly had the girls distracted by an upcoming school dance. Given how much dances were treated as Serious Business in the actual anime, it's kind of on-point.

However, in the end, the ones dancing together are Mal and Inara, and Kaylee ends up spending her time discussing machinery with the other gentlemen guests instead. Mind you, she's having a wonderful time. In fact, Kaylee tries to play the part of the usual Jane Austen romantic girl at the party. She's promptly belittled by several bitchy girls and is rescued by one of the gentlemen she winds up talking engines with. She winds up enjoying that so much that she ignores a fellow asking her to dance. Interestingly, the director's commentary reveals the dancing sequence was originally going to be much longer, with an extended gag of Mal stumbling over the steps of each new dance but Nathan Fillion spent so much time practicing that he got good and so they improvised and had him say he knew that dance.

It turns out it's not actually a ball with dancing, but a huge coliseum tournament. However, after Jing manages to steal the object he wants and have the Queen realize the error of her ways, it ends up reverting to being a normal ball. Funnily enough, the beautiful Girl of the Week isn't shown dancing because she's saving her first dance for Jing. It's renamed the "Mas Corrida" which amounts to "Bullfight With People Instead of Bulls". With a lip service story about why the Masquerades turned into a brutal fighting tournament. In a rather nice moment of storytelling, Jing and the Girl of the Week actually fight in the finals of the tournament, and it degenerates into something resembling a dance.

Squall is shown to be extremely reluctant to dance with her and appears to be quite clumsy during the initial parts of the dance, but then gets over it and starts dancing quite skillfully. Later on, he admits to Rinoa that ballroom dancing is taught to SeeD candidates as a potential cover skill, with the implication that his initial clumsiness was mostly nerves, or him trying to get her to leave him alone. Also adds some humor to the scowls he earned from the other SeeD candidates he was bumping into if they knew he could dance.
