I still haven't seen Saturday Night Fever, which might be why @Leo refuses to meet me, but that surely deserves a spot in this thread.

Taking the thread title narrowly as meaning scenes in clubs or raves (as opposed to dance routines in musicals, of which there's so many), this 35 second burst of intensity really hit me when I saw it in the movie theatre, for capturing what it feels like to be on a techno dancefloor (helped by the great track playing - it's on PCP or Dance Ecstasy 2001, I forget the name of it)

Beau Travail is surely the winner, but its effect comes from being this completely unexpected catharsis after such a tense, caged-energy sort of film

This scene is similarly unexpected
