WNN showed a dance set to the theme music from "Law & Order" today.
A dance for the World News Now theme might be trickier. I would go for "atmosphere"
thusly:
Open:
A man and a woman, dressed as ANCHORS, but actually TRAINED DANCERS,
are seated near a high-end bar, huddled over what may be a "show rundown".
Suddenly, a SAXOPHONIST stands up and starts playing the WNN theme.
The couple get up and do a couple of sweeping dance moves (there's limited time,
but I like to think there could be him twirling her, then later her twirling him :-)).
[NO CLOSE DANCING, as previously seen on WNN, because that should
probably be reserved for real spouses, and not "TV spouses" ;-)]
Finally, through some skillful editing, we see that the couple are now
gliding over to the WNN anchor desk, where they sit down, and on the
last notes of the WNN theme, a jump-cut puts the ACTUAL ANCHORS
in their place.
End.
Of course, this implies that WNN is being broadcast from one end of a
HIGH-END LOUNGE. But that regularly happens whenever
America's Chief Entertaining Officer, TIM LAIRD, visits!

P.S. For the original "Yanni" theme, I think you'd probably need some
HIGH-KICKING.
