Its a dance, dance, dance world (of warcraft)

The dance news is neverending here at WoW Insider.

DanceNews #1: Via MMO-Champion, Blizzard revealed a little more about the new dances in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Players will be able to go to a dance studio to learn the new moves. I forsee some excellent Machinima in the future.

DanceNews #2: Blizzard has posted pictures from the Blizzcon 2007 dance contest. Many of the contestants did an amazing job of mimicking the moves from the game. Some of them in costume. If you need a refresher, check out our video direct from Blizzcon.

DanceNews #3: This isn't news, but a question. What new dance moves would you like to be incorporated in the game? The Jitterbug? The Mashed Potato? The Electric Slide?

For a refresher on the current player dances, there is a flash animation for each class (except Dranei and Blood Elf) on the World of Warcraft official site.

I still wish they'd given Blood Elf males NSync's "Bye Bye Bye" dance.

My life would be complete if my Undead Warlock could learn The Hustle.

YMCA? Jelly time? Macareña?

Oh, the possibilities...

It's a long shot, but I would love to have the dance routine from the ending of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" as seen here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z2HpAE-QcQA

I'd love my tauren (non-resto) druid to be able to do the tree-form's dance - amost worth the respec gold to see it!

Keith Heymann Aug 26th 2007 6:37PM

Slam Dancing .. Enough said.

Bogrum Aug 26th 2007 6:37PM

I'd like to see The Time Warp

signalflow Aug 26th 2007 6:40PM

The Running Man / Roger Rabbit

i'd like to see Vanilla Ice's routine or Kid 'N Play's routine in there. Or the real money maker: Eric Prydz' "Call On Me" vid routine >;)

I'd like to see a system in WoW like Second Life, where people develop totally custom items with animations and sell them to other players.

Now I'm NOT saying I want WoW to be just like Second life, which is totally user generated. But just a little control over the content.

For example, if you are a good motion programmer, you could attach a dance animation to some boots you've made with leathercrafting.

Or, pay a gold or two to upload a .wav file to your account and use your own voice to create a new piratey /flirt comment for a tailored eyepatch.

Endless possibilities really!

DEFINETLY the Haruhi dance! Even if you haven't seen the anime, or don't like anime at all, it's an awesome silly dance. Much better than that terrible female blood elf dance. You know, not even her home parish is proud of Britney anymore ... ooh, and Time Warp! *squees*

But I digress. If I'm not mistaken, part of the "cabbage patch" is already part of the female human dance.

I just wanna see a Tauren Crank Dat Soulja Boy!

Ruzgob Aug 26th 2007 8:35PM

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto imo

CVJ Aug 26th 2007 8:59PM

@4 I never heard of that anime before but I wish the human females would get that :)

I'd like to see the dances from The Breakfast Club. I second the Robot. For variety, why not some European 18th or 19th century waltz-y type stuff?

Bobby Hansen Aug 26th 2007 10:54PM

I want a Snitsky Dance (Stuff legged, holds arms at side, bent at the elbows, gently waving them up and down a few inches. Imagine it done by a Tauren.)

I could also would love to see the dance from the Men in Black video. That'd be hillarious to see a Draenei doing.

/just wants something other then a Draenei Female dance. It's boring.
