Busting out a dancing emote in Fortnite often
carries a certain satisfaction.
Whether you’re showing off your moves as
a means of a victory dance, or using it for
comedic effect after a particularly wonderful
kill, Fortnite’s dancing emotes all hold
a special place in player’s hearts.
And there’s a slew of them!
Meaning you can customize away.
So today, we’re counting down our picks
for our favourite Fornite moves (that are
or were free to get) with our list of the
top 10 Free Fornite Dancing Emotes to get.
Some of these are dancing emotes that you
could only get your mitts on in previous Season
Battle Passes.
Some are still up for the grabbing, if you
can reach the required tier in time.
So with that in mind, let’s jump into our
list.
10 Boogie Down
Boogie down is a classic bouncing around dance.
It’s fun, and it ain’t overly flashy,
but still quite energetic.
How does one get the Boogie Down move?
Complete the game’s two factor authentication;
it’s as easy as that.
And also will make your account significantly
safer, so kind of a win-win, isn’t it?
That was developer Epic Games’ plan, anyway.
In an attempt to help curb the scams that
players were experiencing in Fortnite, they
decided to give away free emotes to any users
who enabled two factor authentication.
9 Freestylin’
Freestlyin is a favourite of many in Fortnite.
And it’s exactly what its name suggests;
sweet free styling moves.
As the internet has discovered, it also pairs
up well with a lot of music.
Plus, many seem to believe that it’s the
dance from one of the Step Up movies that
the character Moose dances.
Anywho, Freestylin’ can be yours if you
have an active Twitch Prime subscription.
8 Popcorn
The Popcorn dance move is the easiest way
to let those around you know you’re finding
something entertaining; I mean, hey, the move’s
description is literally ‘this is getting
good’, so it makes sense.
But it’s also a bit of an F-You move, cause
take a closer look.
You’re emote isn’t eating that popcorn.
It’s a great move to bust out when you see
someone do something idiotic, and you want
to mock them for it, all while incorporating
a delicious snack as part of the joke.
Popcorn was a move that you could get your
hands on by reaching Tier 31 in the Season
4 battle pass.
7 Calculated
The Calculated move feels a little condensing.
For starters, your emote gets a smug look
on their face.
Second, the equation above your emote’s
head that appears in 2+2=4.
Third, it’s based off a meme.
So if that’s your brand of humour, then
this is the perfect move for you to bust out
whenever you outplay someone.
With the Season 5 Free Battle Pass, if you
reached Tier 46, you’d get your hands on
Calculated.
6 The Robot
The Robot is an iconic dance move overall,
one that doesn’t just pertain to Fortnite.
The Robot is actually an illusionary street
dance style that attempts to mimic a dancing
robot which first hit the scene in 1967.
It became main stream after musician Michael
Jackson incorporated the dance into a performance
of the track Dancing Machine with his brothers,
and later used it again in other songs of
his, including the famous track Smooth Criminal.
Back during the season 3 battle pass, if you
reached tier 95, the Robot was all yours.
5 You’re Awesome
You’re awesome is one of the newer moves
on our list.
The move consists of some fancy footwork that
leads into the splits, with your emote gracefully
popping back up to do a spin, which ends with
a clap and a confident finger point.
It’s a nice way of telling your squad, hey,
you’re awesome, without having to communicate
it with words.
And really, at the end of the day, that’s
the kind of compliment we all want, isn’t
it?
How do you get the validation that comes from
this move?
By reaching Tier 31 in Season 5 Battle Pass.
4 Grove Jam
Grove Jam lets you get wiggly with your hips.
But for those of you who didn’t catch on
to what the groove jam is referencing, it’s
the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite.
In one scene towards the end of the film,
the lead character Napoleon busts out an impromptu
and elaborate dance routine, and this is exactly
what your emote does when you use Grove Jam.
Pretty hilarious.
You could get your hands on the move with
the Season 4 battle pass after reaching Tier
95.
3 Ride the Pony
Ride the Pony is just the right amount of
ridiculousness that Fortnite excels at.
It’s taken from the once-internet-sensation
music video Gangnam Style by musician Psy
that came out back in 2012.
Many a famous individual, as well as thousands
online, have attempted to do the dance, including
the likes of Barack Obama.
And if you recall, the Gangnam Style music
video featuring the dance was actually the
first video on youtube ever to reach one billion
views.
So all in all, good dance move.
Those who reached level 20 during Season 2
managed to score the Ride the Pony move.
2 Floss
The Floss dance is perhaps one of the most
iconic Fortnite moves.
Who doesn’t love a good Floss?
Or Flossing?
Is flossing the right verb for that?
Sure let’s go with that.
A move that you’ll likely encounter quite
frequently in the game, Floss became a thing
back in Season 2 of Fortnite, obtainable when
the player reached tier 49.
It’s also a dance some of you may recognize
as the backpack kid dance, thanks to that
internet sensations.
And, funny enough, back in the summer, a school
actually banned kids who were doing the floss
dance in real life because of its links to
the game.
This primary school in Devon banned it because
of the belief that the game rewards the “mass
killing of other humans beings with a dance
of celebration.”
Fortnite has long been a subject of debate
amongst schools, teachers and parents concerning
kids playing the game in an addictive manner,
citing that it’s a major distraction.
But hey, no one should ban your need to bust
a move!
The floss is harmless!
1 The Worm
The Worm is arguably one of the most hilarious
dance moves in the game.
For starters, the way your emote does the
worm is by no means physically possible in
the real world.
That would likely hurt, a lot.
That being said, the grace, agility and utter
hilarity that your emote depicts when busting
the worm out is absolutely wondrous.
This is also a hilarious move to pull when
you’re facing off against someone in the
distance and feel like getting a little comical.
And also, back during the Infinity War crossover
event, there was nothing quite as satisfying
as doing the worm as Thanos.
Well, maybe using the Infinity Gauntlet and
being OP as f***.
But Thanos doing the worm was still pretty
great, too.
There we have it friends!
