dancervention 

When someone's dancing is so bad that it needs to be excised from the dance floor; the ensuring process is a dancervention. Usually instigated by friends of the dance-challenged individual to save him/her from further embarrassment.

Harry is a great guy, but that running man he just did out there requires a dancervention to get him off the floor!
