Be still our beating hearts.
Sometimes the best way to show the chemistry developing between two on-screen characters is through dance. A super sexy, perfectly choreographed dance.
That’s not exactly what’s in store for viewers of tonight’s episode of TG4’s dating show, Pioc do Ride (see exhibit A below), but it’s inspired us to take a look at some of the best dance scenes out there.
Have we left out any of your favourites? Let us know in the comments!

Tale as old as time…

5. Pride and Prejudice
All of the wanton looks…
This is the dance that started it all for Jane Austen’s most famous couple. Sparks fly when an stunted dancefloor conversation between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett turns into a passionate debate.
