Seems like a perfectly cromulant thing to happen on Star Trek. I once saw Spock dance the flamingo.*

Gotta be honest, I watched the Buffy musical episode years ago and liked it just fine. Well made, but ultimately forgettable. “Subspace Rhapsody” however I loved. And I guess the biggest difference is that just in general I enjoy Strange New Worlds a great deal more than I do Buffy. The SNW characters as well as their fictional universe are much more dear to my heart than Buffy could ever be. Mind you, the episode wasn‘t perfect, but IMHO one of the best of the show and surely one of the best of this current era of Trek.
We jumped it before 8-tracks hit the market. 
It's over 9,000!
All the various crew... of various species, who most likely don't have the same dances... dancing in unison and synchronicity. Along with 'dancing' starships.
"Subspace Rhapsody" being a musical was already bad enough, but DANCING WITH THE STARSHIPS?
Just way past the point of ludicrous.
"They've gone plaid!"
BTVS was one of my two or three favorite skiffy shows of this century so far. Farscape would be another.
The music itself in OMWF was certainly better and more creative than any other TV one-off musicals. The story was actually pivotal in the season's arc, and the thematic aspects of the writing were exceptionally well-woven with the lyrics and connected with the other episodes that year.
SNW is...a distant second with respect to overall quality. But it is in only second place.

I think if you can be compelled to create lyrics and sing harmony, dancing should not be a problem. Synchronized flying? Seems like a thing
So what?
You believe in transporters, humans procreating with alien species, faster-than-light travel...all kinds of unreasonable and probably impossible things.
And they never provide explanations that are worth a spit for the most preposterous things they assert.
And, as has been mentioned already, everyone has their own line on what they consider is going past the point of believing the episode or story. And just like how you have your opinions on how this episode presents itself, I have mine. All the views are valid.
Seen those...Zzzzzzzz
It wasn't my cup of tea but I can see why some liked it. The producers among SNW are obvious buffy fans.
