Editor's Note: The video has been removed.
This video is (sadly!) just a partial representation of the dance contest entries. After a hard afternoon on the conference floor, the video camera decided to run dead after about ten minutes of footage. But you'll get a feel for what the contest was like, and all without having to watch 47 different people do the Blood Elf female dance. (There probably weren't really 47 of them, but it really felt like it.) In the end, the winners were all Blood Elves: two females (one of which is in this video, the first Blood Elf female of the lot) and a male. And while the male Blood Elf was excellent (he was wearing a "VOTE FOR KAEL'THAS" shirt), I wish some of the other excellent dances were represented in the finalists. There was at least one very successful attempt at the Troll male dance (complete with the upside down on one hand bit) as well as a great Troll female dance, both seen in our video clip.

wow they took down the video within 10 minutes of the post. any other links to it?

This site is such amateur-hour, sometimes.
YOU DO NOT HOTLINK to other people's content. You grab it and host it yourself.
No wonder both videos are gone.

Dead link already? Damn that was quick...

@2. Actually, I believe someone didn't setup the viewing privileges correctly

@2 - I think you should make a site, go to blizzcon, all that jazz for us. At least you will know how to run it with your superior knowledge of thw world

Sorry, this was my first time using Viddler for video hosting and I didn't set the permissions properly. It is online and should be working for everyone now.
And before you start bashing us for stealing content, I filmed this myself, thank you.

Sorry for the problems all -- Just to let you know, these videos are temporarily offline because the host (viddler.com) has been overloaded. We are working on resolving this issue as soon as we possibly can.

Heh, go figure that they'd use "Para nuei" for the Troll males doing Capoeira. Nice stuff all in all though.

It's obvious why the Blood Elf female dances won, but those troll/orc male dances just blew them out of the water.

Audrey was hot stuff. Glad to see not every girl wanted to be Britney Spears in the dance contest. :P
Juliah Aug 22nd 2007 12:42PM
Wow, go Audrey! Wonder if she's had training in belly dancing? I liked the orc dance and the male trolls as well.

The human male dance had me cracking up, but I was very disappointed with the male BElf. It could've been so much better, especially considering I've seen high school mascots do the Napoleon Dynamite Dance perfectly.
