So You Wanna Bust a Move Fortnite-Style? A Beginner's Guide to the Default Dance
Let's face it, flossing may be yesterday's news, and the robot is a bit too much effort after a long day of loot-hunting. But there's one dance that transcends trends and remains a true Fortnite OG: the default dance. It's simple, it's sassy, and most importantly, it lets everyone on the island know you're here to party (or at least loot their house while they're distracted).
But fear not, fellow noobs! Because this guide will turn you from a confused spectator to a dance floor dominator in no time.
Step 1: Acquiring the Essential Tools (No Pickaxe Required)
You won't need a fancy new skin or a stockpile of rockets to master this move. All you need is your trusty avatar and a healthy dose of rhythm (air guitar skills are a plus).
Pro-Tip: If you find yourself lacking in the rhythm department, don't worry! Airpods are not mandatory. Just crank up the Fortnite soundtrack and let the music move you (or at least give you a vague idea of the beat).
Step 2: Breaking Down the Moves (It's Easier Than You Think)
The default dance is all about smooth transitions and confident swagger. Here's a breakdown of the key moves:
-
The Shuffle: This is the foundation of the dance. Imagine yourself casually strolling down the sidewalk, but instead of walking, you're kicking your heels out in a hip way (think Michael Jackson with less moonwalk). Left leg out, right leg in, repeat!
-
The Dip: Now, just as you start to feel like you've got the shuffle down, it's time to add a little surprise. Dip your upper body down low like you're dodging a sniper round (because, Fortnite). Don't worry, you're not committing to the floor here. This is a quick dip, a playful tease.
-
The Arm Pump: As you rise up from your dip, it's time to pump those arms like you're celebrating a victory royale (which, with this newfound dance skill, might be happening more often). Two pumps, short and sweet, and you're back to shuffling.
Remember: This is all about feeling the music and having fun. Don't be afraid to add your own personal flair to the dance. Maybe you throw in a spin, a sassy hair flip, or even a dab (but use that one sparingly).
Step 3: Practice Makes Perfect (And Hilarious)
Now that you know the moves, it's time to hit the dance floor (or, you know, your living room). The beauty of the default dance is that it can be practiced anywhere, anytime. While waiting for that queue to pop? Default dance! Just eliminated your opponent in an epic build battle? Default dance on their loot!
Warning: Practicing in public may result in strange looks and confused laughter. Embrace it! You're on your way to becoming a Fortnite dance legend.
So Get Out There and Boogie Down!
With this guide and a little practice, you'll be default dancing your way to victory royales in no time. Just remember, confidence is key. Own that dance floor, and don't forget to floss on your haters (but maybe just a little bit).
