** In {{Spamalot}}, Robin would rather sing and dance than fight, and eventually pursues a career in musical theater. Lancelot, a StraightGay, is also revealed as loving to dance.
* The end of ''Ella Enchanted'' sees the armored castle guards dance along to the CrowdSong (since they never even speak, let alone sing).

* Canadian comedy duo Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster once had a TV special that parodied fairy tales - they star as a court jester and royal physician, breaking into an impromptu softshoe dance in the dining hall, followed by a knight in armor doing a more vigorous tapdance.

* In RuneScape, if you pay some money and pull a lever at the party room (formerly in Camelot), a group of knights would dance and sing on a table. Probably inspired by the Monty Python and the Holy Grail scene. Also, there are multiple dance emotes, which players can do in full armor.

* Adam Ant dances in a very shiny suit of armor in "Ant Rap".

* Both ''MassEffect'' and its sequel allow the protagonist some dance steps in full combat gear.

* In ''FinalFantasyIV'' for the DS, there is an EasterEgg where [[KnightInShiningArmor Cecil]] does a dance. With an ([[LighterAndSofter E-rated]]) exotic dancer. It's absolutely hilarious.

* The "Dancing Knights" spell in ''Webcomic/OrderOfTheStick'', a pun on the "Dancing Lights" spell found in ''DungeonsAndDragons''.

* The original 1963 version of ThePinkPanther included a costume party in which Inspector Clouseau attempted to remain incognito wearing a suit of armour, complete with clanging faceplate. He spends some of the evening dancing.
* ''Film/IronMan 2'': Tony Stark, drunk as hell, fully suited up in Iron Man armor. And its one of the most hilarious moments in the movie.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljEC7HKbP0g This]] behind-the-scenes clip from the set of ''Predator 2'' is dripping with this trope.
* Not dancing per se, but the Mel Brooks movie Silent Movie has a hilarious scene where the main characters, in full plate armor, try to eat lunch at a cafeteria.

Dancing in a suit of armour. An amusing sight, in part due to the inherent clumsiness and difficulty in moving glibly in such attire. Furthermore, a suit of armor has connotations of knightly bravery and honor--hence the humorous whiplash stemming from dancing in full plate (see also TheComicallySerious).

* Not dancing persay, but the Mel Brooks movie Silent Movie has a hilarious scene where the main characters, in full plate armor, try to eat lunch at a cafeteria.

Dancing can be pretty funny. It's even funnier when you do it in a suit of armour.

* Semi-example: in one of the episodes of ''NuPogodi'' (in a museum), Wolf disguises himself as a suit of armor and soon afterwards slides across a slippery floor, doing figure skating maneouvers to the tune of a classical melody.
