Cabaret, Sweet Charity, Chicago, On the Town, Anything Goes, Forty-Second Street, Pippin, Oklahoma, Brigadoon, The Producers, Stomp, Hairspray, Spamalot, Rent, The Color Purple, Jersey Boys, Dancin', Contact, etc. etc. etc. And the mother of all dance shows - A Chorus Line. These are all musical-theatre shows. A show can be choreographed in any way, but most of these use classic, Broadway-jazz style dance. Anything Goes and Forty Second Street use lots of tap. Oklahoma and Brigadoon have ballet sequences. Contact, Rent and Stomp use more street-influenced dance. Some are funny (Hairspray, Spamalot), some are serious (Rent, Cabaret, The Color Purple) and they are all wonderful.
If a show is currently running in New York, there is a blackout radius of where it can be produced. That means the rights-holders will not release amateur or professional rights to produce that show with a certain number of miles of New York City. (I believe it's 50 miles)
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers does have lots of dance. It was originally a film, then the stars reprised their roles in an Off-Broadway production in 1979. It was originally produced for Broadway in 1982. A show is considered "Off-Broadway" or "Broadway" based on where it is produced. (the number of seats in the house, primarily). Most shows that are done by high schools and community theatres today, were originally done on Broadway. The biggest exception is probably The Fantasticks which ran for 42 YEARS at the Sullivan Street Playhouse - not on Broadway.

"Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" has a lot of dancing - modified country. I believe it is considered more off-Broadway nowadays but probably played Broadway in its time.

I saw Mama Mia and it was really good in my opinion. It's ABBA's songs so there are many dance numbers.
