New Dances in Cataclysm

Just for fun, what do you think the male Worgen/Goblin and female Worgen/Goblin dances will be in Cataclysm?
Here are some speculations I have come up with ...
Male Worgen: Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock" (ironically I had the dance in mind but Elvis' "Hound Dog" song stuck in my head - "Hound Dog" being the primary reason for thinking Worgen).

Male Goblin: John Travolta's dance from "Pulp Fiction".

Female Worgen: Lady GaGa's "Bad Romance".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I
Female Goblin: Beyonce's "Single Ladies".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m1EFMoRFvY
... Let me know what you think and feel free to add your own ideas to the thread.

Haha, the GaGa dance would be perfect for a female Worgen, what with that little claw hand move she does.
I think all your ideas are awesome, they'd suit the races perfectly, imo!

On the subject of dancing, who else than me wants Blizzard to uphold their promise from WOTLK, AKA. new dances for the old races?

maybe instead of replacing all the old dances they can simply revamp them by adding new moves to the existing theme. Although, I would be all in favor of changing out the Human female dance completely - it's my least favorite of the bunch!

I'd love new dances. And I like those suggestions, Niabi!

...atleast I want a little less of pelvic thrust....it's not that I don't like Michael Jackson but the animation is a bit...what's the word stiff...Okay no complaining about male nightelves.
The female dwarfs deserve a another dance...I mean they looks so unalive in their riverdance...male gnome, don't change a thing....what? Why are people looking at me funny now.
Anyway...if they make Worgen males dance to Elvis I'll never get Jailhouse rock or Hound dog out of my mind. Didn't the goblin males already have a sort of dance?

I would call it a "Omg, help me! Someone put ants in my pants!" nervous tick than an actual legitimate dance.
If Blizzard gets lazy on the project, they'll most likely keep it as the male goblin dance. Let's hope they don't and "up the ante" a bit.

they would treat new dances the same way they treated new hairstyles. merely swapping over existing ones
come on, you know you they would

I love to get the male Tauren dance on all my characters, same with the female bloodelf one, I don't see what's so bad about that suggestion.

If I had the option I'd take the Undead Male dance for every single one of my characters. \m/

Mm, thriller would be more appropriate for undead though if anything.

I would like some new dances, especially for my dwarf. The Riverdance thing is cute, but, compared to my Tauren of Blood Elf, not very dynamic. The human female dance, being the Macarana, could really use an improvement. Something a litte Shakira-esque, perhaps.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUT5rEU6 ... re=channelBut, since a few other female dances are belly-dance influenced, particulary troll and draeni, that might not work. And maybe Night Elf females could finally retire from pole-dancing? Parts of their dance is OK, but parts of it make me cringe.
Niabi, I like your ideas for Goblin and Worgen males. The Lady Gaga I was too distracted by the oddness to really focus on the dancing! But, some moves the background dancers were doing seemed good.

Thriller would actually be more of a worgen thing especially since in the video he is in fact a werewolf...

Though he is a werewolf, the dance part took place with zombies, and he was much more undead for that sequence. :3

I still think if anything it should be worgen especially since Alli dominate the MJ dances.. The worgen would look too awsome doing the little claw movements... I cant see it being undead at all really...They are the wrong type of undead for it.. ><
