Since Sun Vulcan, there have been moments in Super Sentai spread throughout its history where a dance accompanied the ending theme or some other song to entertain younger viewers and encourage them to join in. In later years, some of the dances became so popular that they were spread on social media and even got actors from other Toei superhero franchises or past Sentai seasons involved in performing them.
In several of the recent VS movies, the ending dances would be special ones exclusive to those movies.
Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan[]
An early prototype of things to come, in Sun Vulcan's Ep. 16: A Demon Runs the Schoolyard, the team danced with the children at a school to the song Kagayake! Sun Vulcan by Ichiro Mizuki and Koorogi '73. This would serve as a precursor to the ending theme dance tradition.

A 1980s aerobics style dance, the dance is a bit complicated to follow on screen as the camera jump cuts away from the cast doing it to action shot clips or other scenes.

The choreographies of the dances would be modified versions of one or both of the ending dances of the two teams appearing in the team-up or in some cases completely different choreographies.

Notes[]
- Even though Zenkaiger is the first season to have an opening dance as a regular part of its season, it is not the first season to have an opening dance itself. The first ever season to have an opening dance of its own is Go-Busters, with the opening dance being included as a part of the home media bonus features.[1]
- A controversy arose during the early airings of Kyuranger’s episodes, as Japanese parental advocacy groups voiced their outrage about the pelvic thrust movements of the original Kyutama Dance. The dance steps underwent a minor change afterward and the original stopped being televised in May of 2017.
- King-Ohger's opening dance video is the first one to be released on Nippon Columbia's official YouTube channel instead of Toei Tokusatsu's one, as well as the first one to not be region-locked. It is also the first video to include the dance tutorial at the end of it.
- It is also the first opening dance since Go-Busters to not be used as a regular part of the season, and released as bonus content instead.
