What are all of the dancing-themed Pokemon and name their dance is based on?

Question

for example, I know
Kirlia - Ballet
Oricorio's - Cheerleading, Buyō, Flamenco, and Hula?
Hitmontop - Capoeira
to name a few!
A little Pic on powerpoint I made not sure if all the descriptions are accurate

Comments

Could this be worded a bit better?

Answer 1

• Kirlia - Ballet
• Orcorio - Cheeerleader/Buyõ/Flamenco/Hula
• Altaria - According to its Pokédex,

ALTARIA dances and wheels through the sky among billowing, cotton-like clouds.

• Primarina - According to its Pokédex,

As it dances, Primarina releases balloons of water into the area around itself, moving them using the sound waves from its voice.

• Spinda - According to its Pokédex,

  The shaky, tottering steps of this Pokémon give it the appearance of dancing.

• Meoletta is based on Spanish flamenco dancer.
• Maractus - According to its Pokédex,

  It uses an up-tempo song and dance to drive away the bird Pokémon that prey on its flower seeds.

• Clefairy - According to its Pokédex,

  On nights with a full moon, Clefairy gather from all over and dance. Bathing in moonlight makes them float.

The dancer from Mt. Moon.

• Bellossom - Based on hula.
• Ludicolo - The ultimate dancer. Based on Mexican dancing.
• Roserade - This Pokémon is based on a "masquerade ball", a masked dancer.
• Hitmontop - Although it is not directly mentioned that it is a dancer, its Pokédex says, It kicks as if it is dancing.
  It is based on top and capoeira, a Brazilian martial art that combines music, dances and song.

  Probably, I missed a Pokémon.
  Edit: Yes, I missed Mega Gardevoir. It is based on ballroom dancer.

They say that about Spinda even though it is much more reminiscent of trying to stand upright when extremely drunk. Because this game is for children.

So I think everyone else has done really well to cover most of the dancing Pokemon but a couple that have been missed are:
•Alolan Marowak (Dancing fire twirler)
•Grumpig (Seen dancing his heart out of various Pokemon cards and atop Pokemon GO Gyms)

I also would like to note that Jynx technically is a dance-based pokemon, as it "seems to use dancing to communicate." according to the pokedex entry.

Quaquaval - Samba
