It can only be Nijinsky who won in 1970 with Lester Piggott being the jockey.
I think the horse was named after the great Russian ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky.

Nijinsky in 1970, by the great sire Northern Dancer
Dancing Brave did not win the Derby, he was beaten in 1986 by Shahrastani. He did however manage to sire a derby winner in the 1993 running - Commander in Chief.
There are plenty of horses with "dancing" connections. Northern Dancer sired 3 winners (Nijinsky in 1970, The Minstrel in 1977 and Secreto in 1984); Nijinsky himself sired 3 winners (Golden Fleece in 1982, Shahrastani in 1986 and Lammtara in 1995).
There is not enought room to list all the other Northern Dancer descendents that have won since 1970, but suffice to say there are a lot!
