Emotes

An emote is a text commant entered in the chat, that will make your character perform a certain action, most usually an animation that can be seen by all nearby players. These animations are particular to the Profession and gender you have chosen for your character. Therefore, a male Warrior for example will perform a different action after the /dance command than the female Warrior, and the Mesmer will always dance differerently from the Elementalist. Some of those commands also have pure informational value and will not result in an animation.
