Posts By James KennedyWhy do Fortnite players dance? Sometimes it can be to humiliate their opponent even further after eliminating them, while other times it acts as a dance of victory during a hard-earned victory royale. Here are eight of the most famous dances in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
8 The Griddy
Hit Your Opponent With That Griddy
Some dance moves became rooted in culture simply because of how iconic they are. The Griddy first originated in 2018 and started trending on TikTok. Tap your heels and swing your arms back and forth to perform a Griddy.
This dance eventually escaped the confines of TikTok and made it to the world of Fortnite during Chapter 2 Season 6. It quickly spread like wildfire. The Griddy is so popular it has even invaded the spaces of Among Us Vr with players dancing their way out of looking suspicious. So if you ever eliminate another player, don’t forget to hit them with that Griddy.
7 Take The L
Trolling Your Opponent
Some dance moves are used primarily to troll your opponent. Take the L is one of the most iconic since players primarily use it to emphasize that their opponent just lost the game. The term originated in the early 2000s as part of hip-hop culture. Eventually, Take the L evolved into a primary gamer term used to describe someone losing in video games or life.
Take the L in Fortnite comes in the form of a silly dance routine as the player character makes an L shape with their hands and holds it up to their forehead. This very brutal dance routine shows your opponent to stop being salty about being eliminated and just take the L.

Wave Your Arms In The Air Like You Just Don’t Care
Orange Justice is one of the hardest Fortnite emotes and one that you’ll see in Fortnite timing videos. This emote makes for the perfect victory dance and is used by pros everywhere to flex on the noobish players.
What makes Orange Justice so popular isn’t just how it is used, but how rare it is. This dance was only made available as part of the Fortnite Chapter 1: Season 4 Battle Pass. Once the Battle Pass left the game, it could no longer be acquired. This means whenever someone hits you with this emote, they're hitting you with one of the rarest emotes in the game.
4 Billy Bounce
A Fun Dance To Move To
Billy Bounce is possibly one of the more toxic dances in the Fortnite community; if your opponent eliminates you, and they start Billy Bouncing, then they’re just flexing on you. Billy Bounce was originally released in Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 9. This emote could be purchased for 500 V-bucks and eventually made its way into L2Coop’s locker Bundle.
Billy Bounce is another dance that originated on social media before being introduced into Fortnite. As an emote, this dance is also traversal, meaning that you can move around while performing it, unlike other emotes that stop working when you try to move. It is an essential dance for any Fortnite locker.

A Song That Gets Stuck Inside Your Head
There is a good chance that when you join a lobby, you’ll hear the Rollie song in the distance. This is because Rollie is one of the most iconic dances in the game and the perfect emote to spam while you wait for the Battle Bus to take off.

2 Phone It In
An Epic Sax Emote
Another iconic Fortnite dance that eventually started being used by competitive players is Phone It In. This emote has your character take out a saxophone and start playing it while grooving to the jams. This emote looks great on any character, and it’s the perfect dance to hit your opponents with when you achieve that Victory Royale.
Phone It In was first introduced during Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 9. Since then, it has become a common emote to see. This combination becomes even more of a troll if you combine it with chaotic characters such as Deadpool. This emote also has its own Lego variant that can be used with all your favorite Lego skins.
