Fortnite: 5 popular dances and the real people behind them

Emoting in Fortnite has been one of the best aspects of the game. It allows players to communicate with each other in the game. It also allows players to do a bit of trash talking when they eliminate someone or win a game. It also allows players to express themselves in fun and unique ways, offering collaborative ideas with other brands.

There are a lot of made up or random emotes in Fortnite. There are also a lot of real-life dances and moves that have inspired Fortnite to add them to the game. Some come from songs with a dance in them, and others come from a dance that was made while listening to a song. Here are five examples.
