Sneak peek at WoW's Burning Crusade dance moves

by Vladimir Cole on Sep 11th 2006 4:35AM

Funny, well-choreographed avatar dances are one of WoW's many frivolous delights, and the upcoming Burning Crusade expansion (due November 16) looks set to continue the fun with the addition of these Draenei and Blood Elf routines.

After lifting their moves from French coquette Alizee, female Night Elves have been the dancing queens of Azeroth for nigh on two years now. Do the unfinished animations shown in this video presage a transfer of title to their Blood Elf sisters? They can dance, they can jive...

Blood Elf males take the damn cake on the dance moves!

What's the second song, anyways?

mmm...Alizee...

omg...they took that big purple things dance moves from that indian song Tunak Tunak! that video is hilarious...

Dude.. The Napolean Dynamite moves in the end are too funny.

Goddammit, why did they get rid of the Travolta/Thurman dancing for the Blood Elves?

That was so much better than fracking Napolean Dynomite and Britney Spears or whatever the hell the female blood elves are doing.

Everyone is rolling Blood Elves to dance like Napolean.

lmfao! they actually did the tunak tunak dance!!!

Tunak Video

the fckin best!!

oops forgot link

http://illusivedesigns.net/kn1ves/v2/videos/tunak.html

Seems good!

It is just like a previous one.

Tunak tunak tunak tuank tunak tuank..oooooooolalala

IF you seen the video you would understand Draeneie dance FTW. Also but Draenei women are actually hot for intergalatic planetary space demons! Damn whats next, rodents who ride choppers, that come from mars and get a network television show, on wpix early weekday mornings?

I gotta say that the male blood elf dance rox a lot ! But the female one...
Bah, Britney Spears ftl.

Ummm.. maybe I am an idiot, but did you just say that expansion was coming out november 16 this year? Sorry to post one after the other like this, but did I miss that news cause I can't find it on the site.

I would not be surprised if WOW did not release the expansion this November. Considering the release of PS3 and WII at this time, this expansion will prove that WOW has the strength to blow away all consoles.
It will also take some of the hype away from the new console launches.

LMAO! The Napoleon dance had me crackin up!!!

Most sites still say November, but the way Blizzard talks it'll be next year.

Also the male Blood Elf dance goes a LONG way in my accepting of them.

Good lord, people! I know that Napoleon Dynamite did that dance, but where do you think he GOT those moves? Those are still pretty standard disco moves! Though I suppose anyone born after the 70s would have no clue what "disco" even was.

Hmm thats strange. In GW when the preview was on for ritualists and assassins, the ritualists could do the napolean dance. But that got changed to the ranger dance on release.
And now blood elves are doing the napolean dance?
Sounds like Blizzard and NCsoft had a fight over something :P

Man, that male elf is stealin' my sweet moves. And the Tunak dance? It makes me so very happy to know someone was paid to animate these.

And this is why most WoW players truly have no lives. They watch naked avatars dance around and think its fun..

And they are probably lucky they have no idea what Disco was. Dance and music craze that never should have been. Though they should really know, because we can't have history repeat itself.

Too bad disco was the father of modern day techno and electronica.

Without disco, there'd be no OC remix, or remix at all, for that matter

Wow, the dance of the Male Blood Elf looks really familiar where did I see it before...OH YEAH! Guild Wars has that dance already. Other than that the Tunak dance was pretty clever. Everything else, woo? Does how your online Avatar dance really mean that much to people that they with either play or not play a race? I'm glad I gave up WoW to expensive to just do the same raids every week in and week out.

20-

Are they having fun? Then they have a life. Get off your high horse

* sigh *

Are those moves really from Britney Spears? C'mon Blizzard, don't incourage her!

TheDave: Not really, but it's fun. Sheesh.

@ onetrueping

Do you *really* think Blizzard chose those moves randomly from the decade of disco? They are using the popularity of Napoleon Dynamite to sell their expansion. That was their intention. Obviously, it's working, since everyone that saw the clip recognized the dance as Napoleon’s.

Get a clue. Disco doesn't sell; pop culture does.

I wish they would update the other races... these ones seem to be so indepth and longer.

Heh, I've got to call out WoW on the Napoleon Dynamite dance, too. Not that they didn't have dances that are similar to the ones we ended up getting later or anything.

Looks like it's time for another dance-off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx8NAi0L3fA

now they just need to put in the moves from thriller

The Female Blood Elf dance is modeled after Beyonce, not Britney Spears. Maybe not EVERY animation directly, but the gist of 'em seem to be modeled after her.

"And they are probably lucky they have no idea what Disco was. Dance and music craze that never should have been. Though they should really know, because we can't have history repeat itself."

Wow...incoherent and incredibly wrong. You could get a job in Bush's cabinet.

@1
Second song was "tu es futu" or "tu mas promis"
tres french (my spelling is le bad)
its translates to you are f***ed"
(with the french sounding like an automatic weapon)

I can just see the music video remake of tunak tunak tan with the Draenei. That would be the most awesome thing ever. Hurry up BC!

video removed :(

The napoleon dancing was cute too...

** Edit myself :P
The ritualist still has the napolean dance so that means WoW got the dance second xD.
*slaps WoW on the wrist* bad wow!
