Answer:

oversimplication/hasty generalization

ad hominem

Explanation:

The fallacy of hasty generalization is an informal fallacy in which a person reaches a generalization without having sufficient evidence to do so. In this case, the speaker has reached the conclusion that all girls like dance based on a single case.

Ad hominem is a fallacious argument in which the person attacks the character, motive or other attribute of the opponent, instead of attacking his argument. In this case, the speaker is attacking the Gorps for who they are, as opposed to attacking the argument they are putting forward.
