"Staying Alive" Dance Pose | comment |
A Stock Parody and Stock Pose, when somebody dances in fiction, they're likely to mimic John Travolta's iconic pose from Saturday Night Fever, with their arm stretched out and hand pointing toward the sky. When licensed music is allowed, it's usually combined with "Staying Alive" by The Bee Gees — except for Saturday Night Fever itself in which Travolta dances to "You Should Be Dancing". Dancing Royalty might pose like this. Related to the Gratuitous Disco Sequence. Compare "Risky Business" Dance. |

Tony P. does the move in Mystery Men, while dancing the Hustle in the Disco room. A couple of the other Disco Boys do it while fighting the Mystery Men; it seems to be not just a dance for them but also a part of their martial arts style. | |

World of Warcraft: the dance animation for the male human is this dance, for reasons known only to Blizzard. Of course it does kind of fit with the overall derpiness of the male humans in the game (one of the few games that violates the general principle that male characters always look better than female ones). It often features prominently in machinima productions due to being so iconic and adorkable. As many of the villains either are humans, or have a human form (such as Deathwing, a dragon): there is much comedic potential for this dance in machinimas. It's particularly funny given the propensity of armor models to clip through each other due to this being a game made in the early 2000s. The large shoulder pads that male humans have, usually go through their head when they go for the pointing pose. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Starman: In "One for the Road", the alien title character, Paul (played by Robert Hays), is a chaperone at a school dance. At first he refrains from dancing when invited by one of the teachers because he doesn't know how, but when dragged onto the dance floor he soon picks it up (as he tends to do with skills and languages). As he gets into it, he briefly adopts the "Staying Alive" Dance Pose Hays famously parodied in Airplane!. | |
