Strange Dance Scenes

Three great (but somewhat strange) dance scenes:
• Paul (Paul Schneider) and his mother Elvira (Patricia Clarkson) attempted to cheer up some hospitalised children by performing a strange but funny clown dance in All the Real Girls.
• Delia and Charles Deetz (Catherine O'Hara and Jeffrey Jones) and their guests unexpectedly danced to Harry Belafonte’s "Day-O (Banana Boat Song)" after becoming spiritual possessed during a dinner party in Beetlejuice.
• Exotic dancer Christina's (Mia Kirshner) seductive but strange (sign language!) stripper routine to Leonard Cohen’s "Everybody Knows" in Exotica was one of the most unique.
