The scene is reminiscent to Prince Philip doing a similar move with his father, King Hubert.

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
 -  Robert's costume at the ball is similar to that of the Beast's dancing costume. Also the soap opera stars Paige O'Hara, the voice of Belle, and the soap opera's background music is the title song and the scene itself is similar to the bandaging scene. Also, the dance steps and the sweeping camera moves during the ballroom dance (i.e. the chandelier) are the same camera angles that are used in Beauty and the Beast during their dance together.
