Because of internet issues, I can’t currently play online games. But I was at a LAN cafe the other day and was watching a guy play World of Warcraft. Something humorous I noticed in the game was the ability to dance. Depending on the race/gender of your character, they would do a different dance. The ones I saw- **Humans** Male- Disco dancing Female- Macarena (ugh) **Dwarves** Male- Russian cossak dancing (HEY! HEY!) Female- ??? **Night Elves** Male- Dances like Michael Jackson Female- Belly dance? 😕 The guy playing also claimed that if you get a male and female gnome together and each have them do their dances, it looks like they are humping each other :eek: Does anybody know what the other races (Tauren, Trolls, Undead, Orcs) do? 😕 ---

I’m not sure what kind of reliable information you’re likely to get about World of Warcraft at the moment. Isn’t it still in beta-testing? People who know the answers may well be constrained by some kind of confidentiality or non-disclosure contract. ---

The NDA was lifted when the game when beta, and it’s all fair game. But I haven’t played it in a few months, and I didn’t do any dancing when I did, so I’m no help to the OP. ---

Well, this isn’t World of Warcraft, but **Johnny Bravo** ’s link put me in mind of this: [Dance, Voldo, Dance!](http://www.bainst.com/madness/voldo.html) ---

Bugger, hit reply too soon… Undead males headbang, undead females dance like goth chicks. I don’t recall dwarf females having their own dance yet, but I could be mistaken, been playing Horde side, taking a break from my Human Alliance Warlock. The night elf female dance is kind of like a stripper dance, I guess you could say. Two of the funniest dance videos from WoW I’ve seen are: This one’s all Horde dancing, to “Can’t Touch This”, complete with a rapping Orc at the end. [http://ftp.estpak.ee/pub/cool.hot.ee/videos/WoW/juniorx3\_dancevideo2.avi](http://ftp.estpak.ee/pub/cool.hot.ee/videos/WoW/juniorx3_dancevideo2.avi) This one’s my favorite. It includes pretty much all of the racial dances, set to the tune of “Move It” [http://www.lotd.org/memberfiles/Bloody/wowmoveit.avi](http://www.lotd.org/memberfiles/Bloody/wowmoveit.avi)
