Goku learned this during the five years of inactivity between the end of
the Cell Game and before Gohan started school at Orange Star High School.
As the name suggests, the major requirement for this type of fusion is
to have the two people involved in the fusion perform a dance, which are
mirror images of each other, resulting in a new warrior, who has the attributes
of the two warriors who formed the new one. When performed successfully,
the newly formed warrior will be significantly stronger. There are other
requirements and conditions, of course.
Dance
Fusion
Requirement
The
two fighters must be similar in size, build, and power (especially power;
they have to be almost exactly the same, but this isn't a major problem,
since most of the Goku-tachi can control their power levels, so the stronger
fighter just needs to lower his/her power to match that of the weaker).
The
dance must be performed correctly for a successful fusion. Any minor mistake
in the dance can result in a defective fusion.
The
fusion will last for 30 minutes, by which time both fighters will return
to
their normal selves, but there
doesn't appear to be a way to end a fusion before this 30
minute time limit.
After
a fusion ends, the two fighters must have a waiting/resting time of one
hour before the fusion dance can be performed again.
Potara
Fusion
Requirement
A
set of Kaioushin earrings.
The
two fighters involved in the fusion must wear the earrings on opposing
ears.
Each
person can only have one such fusion in a lifetime.
The
effects of the fusion is (supposed to be) permanent
