Breakfast Topic: Worgen and Goblin dances

Reader Andy sent us a good topic to talk about this morning: dances for the new Cataclysm races. Every time we've sat down to play the new expansion, we've punched in the /dance and /silly emotes, and we haven't seen a single thing implemented for Worgen or Goblin males or females, so as far as we know, it's completely up in the air on what dances they'll choose for each one. You have to think that Blizzard has some idea already (or maybe they'll just be included in those long awaited dance studios), but we haven't seen it, so what do you think?
Andy says Goblin males should go for a West Side Story-style classic number, while Worgen should definitely do Thriller. For some reason, I see Goblins breakdancing, but I have no idea what the Worgen might be doing. If it's something befitting their starting area, I have to think something boring like ballroom. But they may actually have different dances for their human and wolf forms (at least you'd hope so -- surely they'd be able to do more in Worgen form than in normal human form, right?). What do you think?

Ballroom isnt close to boring.
Kia Sep 30th 2009 10:46AM
Thank you! This!
Sarakin Sep 30th 2009 10:49AM
I would disagree but to each his/her own i guess
Bronwyn Sep 30th 2009 12:25PM
Agree. In my opinion, if you think ballroom is boring you either just don't like dancing or you haven't seen enough to form a decent opinion.

Just to add this to the top of the proverbial heap.
Didn't Michael J. Fox do a dance in Teen Wolf when he was all wolfed out?

I think a Vienna Waltz would be wonderful for the female Worgen (especially in human form, if there's a different dance for human and worgen forms), except for one thing. Any good dance like that requires a partner, otherwise the female Worgen will look a little odd. -_- Which is sad. But...sometimes people do dance their part of the Waltz without a partner, and can look okay. Hm. So yeah, my vote is for a Vienna Waltz. :)
I just really hope they don't give them the Shakira She Wolf. It just look like she's having major muscle contractions, or a standing seizure.

goblin npcs already have a dance.
i2hellfire Sep 30th 2009 9:46AM
thats not so much a dance as it is an involuntary spasm.

If they added Thriller for Worgen, the undead community would storm Blizz HQ with pitchforks and torches, not that I think it would be a bad dance to add for them.
I think Goblins should do the funky chicken.
Worgen should do the Electric Slide.
Sargenus Sep 30th 2009 8:21AM
Female Tauren already have the Electric Slide.
In addition: You need to think. Dances for Goblin MALES and FEMALES and Worgen MALES and FEMALES. If only one dance was assigned to both genders it'd be boring. Anyway..
Goblin males should get Breakdancing, Goblin Female should get this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sr2JneittqQ
Male Worgen should definately get Thriller, Female Worgen, though...dunno, but everyone is saying Shakira - She Wolf, and I say NONONONNONONONONOO.

@Sargenus
Haha! That video is great.
But no, if the Forsaken didn't get Thriller, no one should. It would
Carver Sep 30th 2009 8:32AM
just be wrong.

/agree need to consider male and female dances. My choices would be the following
Goblin Males: Oompa Loompa Dance or The Robot
Goblin Females: Jump on it
Worgen Males: Ice Ice Baby or Cotten Eye Joe
Worgen Females: Walk like an Egyptian
Elmo Sep 30th 2009 9:01AM
Shakiras She Wolf for Worgen female obviously
Deadly. Off. Topic. Sep 30th 2009 9:06AM
Oh god, no more M.J. dances please... one was already more than enough.
Grimbo Sep 30th 2009 12:00PM
Yeah I don't get the obsession with Thriller as the Worgen dance. Thriller was Zombies people!
Male Worgen should be a variation of the Snoopy dance. I don't know why this is even up for debate.
kabshiel Sep 30th 2009 12:38PM
I totally agree on the Snoopy dance.
Jay Sep 30th 2009 8:09AM
Is it just me or do the worgen look like dogs with wigs?
themightysven Sep 30th 2009 8:14AM
It's not just you
jealouspirate Sep 30th 2009 8:16AM
Anyone ever notice that the Tauren just look like bipedal cows?
