Not op but I guess it depends. E.g. I know aikido, salsa (ny and Cuban), bachata, kizomba and tango. For me NY salsa looks the most martial artsy.

Just Dance was really awesome. I really loved playing it with my daughter. Real dancing meanwhile is even better. I will never buy Kinect for dancing again :)
