I checked out the "Skip to Loafer" opening and holy fuck, Mitsumi and Sousuke dancing together blew me away with how cute it is. I was not expecting it to be that adorable, but after only seeing it once it's already one of my favorites. It then made me think of the dancing in the Wotakoi opening, which I also really like. If that anime had come out when tiktok blew up (or now that it's so huge), everyone would've been doing that dance on that app. Also, there's no forgetting how good "Lost In Paradise" is, both in terms of the song itself and the animation. It's always fun to see Yuuji and Gojo dancing along.







NOTE: My answers are from anime opening/endings, but this question also applies to dancing in a scene during an episode. It does not have to occur during the opening/ending credits. Hell, you could just answer with an anime about dance if you like. I know "Dance Dance Danseur" impressed me with its usage of ballet to enhance its story.

Skip to loafer seems really really good, possibly the most interesting show of the season so far.

Anyways the first thing that came to my mind when talking about dance is kill me baby:

Gotta partly agree with @tchitchouan

belly dancing from Gargantua is the best dance in anime.

People say Urobutchi treats girls cruelly. However, he even makes them do belly dancing better than other directors. Is making them do belly dancing on their knees cruel?

The ED of Hoshiai no Sora was the best thing about that show.

Look closely, there is one character that dances exactly like you.

Skip and Loafer got an anime?!

Only ones I remember are the Mob Psycho opening dancing and the HarexGuu opening:


From the ones posted so far, that Chika one is defo the coolest.

It's not anime, but the original RWBY had a dancing bit at the end of Volume 2 that was well-made.

"Princess Tutu" did cross my mind although for me it's because the opening song is so good that it enhances Duck's dancing sequence. I'm not sure how much I would like it if not for the music, but then again, a lot of my examples are also the song adding to the dance.

When "Ballroom e Youkoso" was airing I did check out the first episode (or two), but this was when I slacked off on anime much easier so I didn't ever get around to finishing it. I enjoyed "Dance Dance Danseur" a lot so I'm not sure if I would like this series more (or as much), but I should finally complete it one of these days.

Music from Bocchi is such a vibe to dance to, the OST's need more attention though.

That I can agree too actually, dance is alright but music is really good

I am surprised no one posted Lucky Star:



That said Gargantua is still the best:


Belly dancing is best way for girl to entertain a man with her dancing. Gargantua is the best example of how it is done.

Here's a hilarious classic. Fair warning this one comes with a "May not be suitable for young or sensitive viewers content tag." For those who want to skip the warm-up and go right to the proper dance, it starts at the 40 seconds mark.
