Nurse dancing is a minor tactic in NetHack. If you are naked and wielding nothing, a nurse will heal you instead of hurting you. If the healing attacks would heal you past your normal max hit points, your max hit points will increase. This is best done on a no-teleport level, such as the Castle or Sokoban, to prevent the nurse from teleporting away.

The Yet Another NetHack Frequently Answered Questions (YANFAQ) mentions that the ultimate nurse dance is to use a cursed scroll of genocide to create multiple nurses around you on a no-teleport level.
