Ancilorn wants to know your favorite form dance

For some reason, this post in the WoW Europe general forums asking what shapeshift form has the best dance moves makes me suspicious. The poll itself is innocuous enough, although I don't understand why Tree of Life and Moonkin carry such a commanding lead (Cat is my personal favorite).
No, the suspicious part is: why are they asking this now? New dances were a much-hyped feature in Wrath of the Lich King, although they have so far entirely failed to materialize. If they're still working on them, for 3.3 or 4.0, this might be some market research to see what sort of dances we like.
On the other hand, it may just be an innocent piece of fun from Ancilorn. Who knows?

They're adding new races and want to generate fun dances for them.
(my best guess)

They're always asking stupid little poll questions. I wouldn't read too much into them.

They've been doing several dance polls for a while now. I wonder if it's just for fun as well.
Nevertheless, we can all learn something about dancing from our feathered furry friends.

"dance polls"
Quoting to take out of context. >.>

I think they're looking for options to put in the Dance Studio, IMO Forsaken need Thriller, Blood Elves need Smooth Criminal and Worgen need The Crash Dance... that's right The Crash Dance.

...Do you mean the "Crash Bandicoot" dance?
Wow, I think I love you already.

Hey this is a family site, would you two get a room?

Tree dance is the best dance in the game, hands down! Still cracks me up.
Robert M Jul 28th 2009 5:00PM
/agree
It’s not just the dance though. The animation when you help a mage make a table and your arms flail in the air, the tree punch, and the way a tree throws his hands up in the air (you can almost picture him rolling his eyes) to heal people to dumb not to get hurt are all WIN!
It’s the tree animations that made me shed a tear when GC talked about making ToL like metamorphosis.

My favorite part of being a tree is /cheer. They just look so EXCITED.

Moonkin was the best until they nerfed it.

Bear dance has to be the best, i mean comeon! how can a overstuff owl beat a danceing bear? its just too funny! all ya need is a unicycle or a giant ball for them to dance on and it would be the best dance in all of wow!
snowleopard233 Jul 28th 2009 4:28PM
I would like the dancing bear better if he didn’t drop to the ground like he was losing his balance every three seconds. Kind of ruins the mood.

well it is a animal that normaly walks on 4 legs, it makes since that it would have to regain its self after a while.

Yeah I'm a fan of the cat form dance.
Very simple but still cool in my opinion :P
Evelinda Jul 29th 2009 12:34AM
hells yeah, cat dance!
BillDoor Jul 28th 2009 4:22PM
I enjoy the subtlety of the swinging paw cat dance.
thanatos81 Jul 28th 2009 4:25PM
Boomkin dance is one of my faves, but I still think the best is the male goblins
Rebecca Jul 28th 2009 4:30PM
AHHHHH! I love the bear dance. Dancing bear! Dancing bear!
