"Dance" men to death?

There's a variety of stories out there about creatures that look like human females and then dance men to death, either literally or figuratively.

Can anyone remember the names for these creatures?

Villi in some regions, Sylphides, some types of Celtic Sidhe women, etc.

Oh, oh. I hope I'm not one and don't know it Lillian. I usually spend all night on the dance floor and a lot of the guys I dance with get worn out.:)

Sounds like a variation on the Sirens or Nymphs of lore.
