Whenever it's time for a musical number, the lead dancer and singer (whether hero or villain) can usually pull any Innocent Bystanders into a Crowd Song, and thanks to Spontaneous Choreography have them all dance and sing in perfect sync. Some leads can go a step further. Rather than make do with whoever is nearby, or go solo if there's no one else around, they can Summon Backup Dancers from out of sight, bringing a battalion of ballerinas to dance at their side. To make this more impressive, they'll usually be summoned directly from the Universe of Wardrobe and Costuming after having been fitted in perfectly appropriate attire for the song in question. This power seems to come integrated to characters who are Dancing Royalty. If this trope applies to an enemy, it's an Enemy Summoner or Mook Maker. Shoot it immediately. This trope isn't usually a magical spell that can summon dancers like a wizard can summon monsters (though in a wacky enough series, it may well explicitly be one), more often it's an implicit rule of the cosmos. Anyone who goes into a musical number will get accompaniment, even if it requires the Spontaneous Generation of said dancers from hard vacuum. Other times, it can be humorously justified by the lead in question training friends, allies or subordinates beforehand and instructing them to hide out of sight and march out on cue for their big song. If this is a magical ability of some type, the backup dancers may help out by dance battling alongside the summoner. |

The We Bare Bears short "Panda's Dream" involves Panda having a series of Imagine Spots about confronting a guy who cut in line at the video game store. The third and final one leads to a K-pop dance-off where two girls appear out of nowhere to dance with Panda, and then a few more bystanders randomly join in. | |

Phineas and Ferb Invoked in the song Rubber Bands, Rubber Balls as Baljeet's uncle, Sabu, summons his factory workers as backup dancers. Backup dancers sometimes appear if Doofenshirmitz tells Perry this week's Backstory in song; he explicitly hired them at least twice. The trope is sometimes justified only by Rule Of Don't Be So Pedantic, It's A Cartoon, such as when Baljeet sings about his fear a bad grade if he fails to make a portal to Mars - he summons not just backup dancers, but scenery and elephants too! |

Space Channel 5 has any hostages you rescue join you in dance. The hostage takers in the games are reported as also making their hostages dance... badly.

Almost too obvious an example is Glee. They don't do it all the time, since they actually have cast that are backup dancers, but there was a scene in the outdoor cafeteria that did that, and one in a mall, where bystanders joined in the action. Most notable are the Troubletones dancers who appeared in Chicago without riding in the team bus (which had plenty of room to spare for them). | |

Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes has the Disco Zombie (same as Dancing Zombie from the original) and Disco-Tron 3000 as playable Zombie teammates. Since only 5 zombies can be on the board at a time, the Disco Zombie will only summon one Backup Dancer. The Disco-Tron 3000 takes this even further by summoning a Dancing Zombie which then summons a Backup Dancer, giving the Zombie Hero three teammates for the price of one. Finally, the "Dance-Off" superpower summons two backup dancers on random lanes. | |

In The Blues Brothers, when Ray Charles plays "Shake a Tail Feather", passersby in the street start dancing, and the crowd quickly grows as people rush in from all sides. They proceed to demonstrate the different 1960s dance styles that are mentioned in the lyrics. You see those people on the elevated train station way in the back? They weren't involved in the shoot. They were waiting for a train, saw what was going on, and joined in. | |

Happens twice in Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto, a musical about Cesare Borgia when he was 16 and in school: First, when Archbishop Raffaele Riario sings about how much he loves beautiful art, and how Cesare's black hair is so beautiful and how he looks like Donatello's David, he is accompanied by five androgynous dancers out of the aether. Later, when Cesare sings about Sandro Botticelli's Primavera, three dancers styled like the painting dance around him, and the painting is projected onto the scenery. This is a more solemn song, as it alludes to what Italy, and the world, stand to lose with the death of Lorenzo de'Medici, who is very ill. |

The backup dancers on Kids Incorporated mainly appeared in Imagine Spot numbers and/or playing instruments on stage and rarely appeared outside of performances or got any significant focus in an episodenote among the few exceptions were Season 1's "She's So Shy"; in which dancer Wendy Brainard got to sing on 2 of the songs, and Season 6's "Magic Toy Shoppe"; which had dancer Joseph Conrad play the toy soldier who falls in love with a ballerina played by a young Jennifer Love Hewitt | |

Nicely played with in Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Musical Episode, "Once More With Feeling", as Buffy's confronting, via a musical number, the demon responsible for the whole mess... Played straight earlier when Tara is singing her love song to Willow "Under Your Spell". While dancing through the park she passes near two other girls resting by the pond who are magically compelled to rise to their feet and start dancing behind her. Giles also mentions, almost inaudibly under something Anya is saying, the synchronised dancing from the room service chappies, so clearly something was going on there. |

In the filmed performance of the second High School Star Musical stage musical (StarMyuMyu), During the first adlib portion when Tengenji is looking for his cat, when he finds her, he begins singing his love song to her (yes, the cat) from the first musical. The backup dancers quickly respond, with the dance that goes to the song. Hoshitani comes in as scripted... and they just keep dancing. He has to shoo them offstage, but the last one really didn't want to go. | |

BoxxyQuest: The Gathering Storm has a move with this exact name. It's used by a hidden Dance Battling miniboss called the Funky Infoshade, and summons a quartet of regular Infoshades to fight by his side. | |
