Where did Blizzard get those WoW dances anyway?
Rikto | February 14, 2008Everyone loves the special dances the characters do when you type /dance. Each character race has its own special dance and it is different for the males and females.
Have you ever wondered where Blizzard got the inspiration for those dances? Here’s a video that shows you some of the more popular dances performed by the original dancers with the character dancing next to them.
Our favorite is the male blood elf; that dance came from the movie Napoleon Dynamite. The human male gets to dance to Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta, and the night elf male dances like Michael Jackson (whatever else is going on with him, Jackson really can dance.)
It seems like the male characters have all the good moves. The female characters have boring dances. The human female got stuck with the macarena, the night elf female has to flap her hands behind her back, and the female dwarves do Riverdance. Oh, well.
Here’s the video. Enjoy!
