Bending is just martial arts. I have studied Tai Chi which is what Water bending is based off of and your energy is affected by it (if you do it right). Some truth to the fiction.
To this end, their dancing is likely a martial art with flourishing movements, like the more dance fighting aspects of capoeira. Also thank you Fell for explaining the history. For DNC sake, instead of a pure martial art, it got fantasied up for the sake of FF.

In another game, Code Vein, one of the boss enemies was modeled after the art of pole dancing. Which in itself is graceful and unique. However, she's incorporating those movements to try and kill you.
