Dance

This page gives a brief explanation of the various dances which can be performed by the /dance command.

=Warrior=

Male

 * The male warrior dance involves pelvic thrusting, drawing the hands across the eyes, full-body swaying, and spinning.

Female

 * The female warrior dance involves swaying, drawing the hands across the eyes, and "swimming" motions.

=Ranger=

Male

 * The male ranger dance is a form of breakdancing, involging slight swaying and clapping followed by full body spinning on the ground.

Female

 * (To be added)

=Monk=

Male

 * The male monk dance is very graceful, resembling yoga, tai-chi or other fluid exercise more than typical Western dancing.
 * More than constant motion, it involves shifting to and from various poses in an extremely fluid manner.

Female

 * Like her male counterpart, a female monk's dancing also resembles yoga or other exercise more than a typical Western dance.
 * Again, like the male, her dance involves graceful shifting among various poses, but she tends to move more than the male, especially involving spins.

=Elementalist=

Male

 * The male elementalist starts out slowly, shifting his weight from side to side, then eventually becoming more and more absorbed into the "music," so to speak, eventually sticking out his thumbs, leaning backwards, and snapping his head around while making little kicks.
 * This dance was exhibited by the character Elaine on the television show Seinfeld, as an example of a dance that was horrifyingly bad.

Female

 * The female elementalist dance is very slow, involving a very large amount of shimmying and swaying.

=Mesmer=

Male

 * The male mesmer holds his arms stiff and dances with his feet alone, similar to the style of Riverdance or traditional Irish Step Dancing.
 * It has been said that there are too many inconsistencies to call this dance a true Irish Step Dance or Riverdance, and more than anything it resembles the mesmer playing Dance Dance Revolution. The jump made at the end of each dance "cycle" is often cited as evidence of this.

Female

 * The female mesmer dance is almost exactly like the male mesmer dance. She holds her upper body in a slightly different position but nonetheless keeps it stiff, dancing with her legs alone.

=Necromancer=

Male

 * The male necromancer's dance is better described as "rocking out" than actual dancing. While holding up his hand in the shape of "the horns," the necromancer violently headbangs, eventually moving from headbanging with just his neck to his whole upper body, and eventually jumping wildly around.

Female

 * The female necromancer's dance involves slides and lunges, stylized looking from side to side, a waving of the arms in "claw" position, and stalking around with arms raised in front of one's self.
 * This dance is the same as Michael Jackson's Thriller.
