This first dance that most people saw in Fortnite Battle Royale came from the comedy show 'Scrubs'.
The character Turk did this dance in one episode, and is the FREE default dance you start with in Fortnite.
Swing dancing came into popularity in the 1920s and stayed prominent through the 1940s. Now, in 2019, we see it making a sweet comeback thanks to Fortnite!
This guy went full on electric swing on us along with his emote matching their steps to boot. There are tons of dances like this one, and they keep getting more and more complicated for the live dancer, and more and more tricky for the emote.
One of the newest and most popular dances in Fortnite, this weird looking arm movement was made popular by Russell Horning - better known as 'Backpack Kid'. Katy Perry invited him to perform his dance on live TV, and suddenly everyone was doing it!

Breakdown is all about, well, the broken moves that are pretty easy to follow but are also so pleasing to see when you capture the live dance of this one. These guys decided to follow along professionally to the emote and did so with passion and matching beats.
You think the game is proud of the fact that they could keep up?
The Robot is another type of street dance, where the dancer uses jerky movements to act like a robot to the beat of the music.
It's been around for ages, but was really made famous by Michael Jackson!
From one person to a whole group fo boys, this dance inspired a whole music video and collaborating dance-off.
Smooth moves really does make you want to get up and dance yourself, but we will sit back and let these tweens do it for us while we make sure they do not mess up and follow the emote to perfection.
Wreck It Ralph is no exception to the Fortnite rule. Whether the game took it from the movie or the movie took it from the game is moot.
The emote is doing her thing and Ralph is doing his very own. This is an animated dance-off and we are sure it will end with one of these characters having another movie to their name.
This one we have to say was taken from the original person and not the other way around considering the timing of it all. However, it is really aesthetically and rhythmically pleasing to see how the emote is able to follow this guys step beat by beat.
The feet and the hands are perfectly in unison.
The oldest dance on this last, this tame dance was invented in the 1920s - that' before the Second World War! Its real name is The Charlston, because it was first danced to a song of that name in a musical.

"Shimmer" is basically twirling around and looking cute. However, there is nothing wrong with that so let us get into it! The emote is circling around herself, while the live woman is frolicking on the beach doing her own version of the dance.
Who would you prefer to see? The emote or this beauty?
Well now, the "sprinkler" has been a hot dance move for decades so we are happy to see it making a comeback thanks to Fortnite. The emote has the dance move down, and this guy all pretty in pink is doing his own version and killing it.
Just you wait and see, the next time you hit the club and there is a beat for this, you will see everyone going sprinkle.
Another dance that was taken from the live to the game due to its age. "Hot Stuff" was taken by Fortnite to mimic an old movie's dance moment.
Her hair is giving us real vibes here, but the emote is doing her thing while the rest of the world is about to adopt the dance moves and make it their own.
