Where do the Fortnite dances come from
Are you wondering why kids are swinging their arms and hips from side to side in a asymmetric rhythm, sports players are celebrating their goals or victories with some weird dance moves? Do your children talk about the floss and who is the better at it? Don’t worry, they are only reproducting some Fortnite dances.
What is Fortnite?The fifth season will end in 64 days (end-of September).
| Release date | Fortnite was released in 2017 by Epic Game. But it’s popular mode only became available in September 2017 and was launched with a different title than the original one Fortnite: Battle Royale. This was in reaction to the the success of the Battle Royale video game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). |
| Age restriction | PEGI 12 rating in the UK for frequent scenes of mild violence. |
| Platforms | Fortnite is played on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows, and Mac. Recently, it also became available on mobile but for a restricted number of players and on Nintendo Switch. |
| Purpose | The game pits 100 players against each other in a last-man-standing battle. They can collect resources, build hideouts, and shoot enemies. In its duo or squad versions, you play against other duos or squad teams – but are still 100 in the Island. Overtime, the area where you can play get smaller and smaller, ensuring that the games don’t last forever. You can also choose to leave the game once you die and start a new one, or stay in the game until the end and watch other players still competing. |
| Price | Battle Royale is a free to play but players can choose to buy a Battle pass. The battle pass is a reward system that unlocks emotes, skins, gliders and other cosmetic rewards for the player who completes challenges during a particular season. There is also a Free Pass where you can unlock a limited set of rewards. |
| Season | It is currently the fifth season of the game and each season has been marked by a different theme and different challenges and rewards. |
| Average length of a Battle Royale game | A game lasts approximately 20 minutes provided you are still alive. |
| Teams | You can play solo, duo or in a 4-men squad. |
Fortnite is one of the most famous game this year for the following reasons:
- It is free while PUBG costs £26.99.
- Its graphic style is bright, with cartoon-like characters.
- Resource collection and construction concepts attract Minecraft players.
- The outfits, skins and graphic rewards are diverse and funny. The dances are ridiculous yet very popular in the school playgrounds.
- Once you are dead, you can start a new game and don’t have to wait until the previous one is over.
- It also leaves space to different playstyles: do you prefer hiding and sniping people, over close range fights? No problem, you can collect resources and build yourself a sneaky hideout.
- Furthermore, on a weekly basis, new play modes are available making the game always attractive. Recently it had a 50v50 mode that I particularly enjoyed playing.
Its success is also obvious on social media: Ali-A has reached more than 14 millions subscribers on Youtube and Ninja had a peak of 600 000 viewers while streaming with Drake.
Epic also recently released some official real life costumes and fans can know dress up with their favorite outfits from Fortnite. Check up this article to see which costumes are now available for sale.

Fortnite Dances – how to unlock them?The Fortnite dances are often reference to past moves. You can either buy them in the shop with V-bucks or earn them by completing the challenges through the Battle Pass.
And they have had a massive influence all across the world. Ali-A video has released a real life challenge (where we tries to perform some of the famous dance moves) that has more than 12 millions views. The 2018 Football world cup, the major league Baseball were also tainted with references to this famous game.
My son and his friends have practice session during the break at school and he has been teaching his sister (with limited success) the floss.
Where do these Fortnite dances come from?
The floss
The most famous Fortnite dance is the floss, it was not created by Fortnite itself but is the one you are most likely to see!
- The Backpack Kid, an instagram famous dancer, made it famous when he did the dance during a live performance of Katy Perry’s song Swish Swish in a Saturday Night Live episode 2017.
- Millie Bobbie Brown (Eleven in Stranger things) posted a video of her dancing the floss on her instagram.
- Tothenham player Dele Alli celebrated a goal against Manchester with a floss.
- Love Islanders Josh, Wes and Alex were practicing it.
Take the L
In September 2017, the movie IT was released in cinemas. In this movie, the Clown can be seen dancing with exactly the same music as you can hear in Fortnite.
Antoine Griezman (french football player) performed this dance move on several occasions, including during the word cup final where he scored against Croatia, or with his club, Atletico de Madrid.
Ride the pony
This dance resembles the one PSY dances in his famous Gangnam Style. The English player Dele Alli, performed this dance in the word cup during the game against Sweden.
Boneless
Conor McGregor’s strut might have inspired this dance.
Fresh
You should recognize this dance, performed originally by Carlton in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Orange Justice
This emote was inspired by Orange Shirt kid, who became a popular meme in the Fortnite Reddit community thanks to his dance.
Electro Shuffle
Initially called the “rave shuffle” in the 80s, this dance move was performed by Gabby J David, a professional dancer and choreographer on a YouTube video she released in 2017. This video may have inspired the Electro Shuffle in Fortnite.
Hype
Hype has been inspired by Shoot, a video of BlocBoy JB, an american rapper.
Best mates
The Best Mates dance was created by Marlon Webb on his Vine channel.
Basic Dance
This Fortnite dance has been inspired by Scrubs, the famous tv-show. In season 5, Christopher Turk was performing this dance.
The wiggle
This dance was created by a former Call of Duty french player, named Broken.
Groove Jam
Groove Jam was inspired by Napoleon Dynamite, a 2004 American comedy film. The music to witch Napoleon is dancing is called canned heat.
Shake it up
If you are a fan of Jim Carrey or the mask, you probably already recognized this Fortnite dance. Shake it up is the dance the Mask performed in front of all the police officers ready to arrest him.
Intensity
This is one of the recent Fortnite dances. It has been inspired by a topless raver nicknamed the Techno Viking, who was seen performing this dance in 2000 in Berlin.
Llama bell
This Fortnite dance was first seen in April 2000 in the More Cowbell sketch.Will Ferrell was performing his cowbell dancing during a Saturday Night Live.
I like the orange justice dance but I’m for sure unable to perform it. Which one is your favorite?

dance, what does it mean, how to get Tek ze El
Content
- Meaning of "Take ze El"
- Description of Take the L emote
- How and where to get dance
- What it looks like in Fortnite
The mechanics of the shooter consists of competitive battles (both singles and doubles), group battles, completing missions and tasks. By completing various missions, Battle Royale gamers receive rewards in the form of experience points, rare types of weapons, and unique skins. Winning or losing, users use emotional gestures that complete one of the completed stages. One of these is Take the L.
Meaning "Take the L"
Musical emoji gestures are used by players in the Royal Battle in case of victory or defeat, emphasizing the current mood of the gamer.
Fortnite's collection of dances is constantly growing, and some of them are fading away.
For example, the “Accept Your Loss” dance, invented by Irish game designer Brendan Green in 2018, is now often performed by famous football players who have defeated rivals.
Take the L emote description
The Take the L emote was given as the 31st level Battle Pass in Fortnite Season 3: Battle Royale.
It belongs to the rare type. If you see in the game a dancing skin of a girl or a young man with his hand pressed to his head and his index finger raised up and thumb laid aside, it means that you have peeled in the battle and must come to terms with your defeat. A playful melody and a silly dance call for a humorous attitude to the pocket.
After all, there are many interesting and difficult tasks ahead, after passing which you yourself will be able to hook the defeated enemy.
How and where to get the dance
The Teik the El emote first appeared in the Battle Royale in Season 3. She was given out for reaching the 31st level of the Battle Pass. Gamers immediately appreciated the design of the skin and the musical composition that accompanies the ironic dance. After the presentation in the game, the “Accept your defeat” gesture became popular with athletes as well. So, the striker of the Spanish team Atlético, Frenchman Antoine Griezmann, after scoring a goal, performed it, laughing at the players of the Lisbon football club Sporting.
Those who did not manage to get Take the El for the 31st level of the Battle Pass can subscribe to the popular channel or blog of one of the Battle Royale gamers and become a participant in the drawing of free prizes, among which may be the famous Take the L dance
What it looks like in Fortnite
In the adventure shooter Fortnite: Battle Royale, the “Accept Your Defeat” emote is represented by dancing skins. They throw their legs in different directions to the orchestral music, pressing the raised hand to the forehead. At the same time, the index finger of the hand is raised up, and the thumb is set aside, which graphically resembles the capital English letter L. The word The Lose itself means “defeat”. This is now a popular, frequently used gesture that has resonated outside of the game.
To advance through the levels, collect points, upgrade the Battle Pass, win and don't be afraid of defeat.
