Dance animations and videos
Blizzard released a webpage where you can view (and download animated images of) the dances performed by the WoW Classic races:
However, the animations on the site do not show the entire set of dance moves.
You can also view dance-mixes with models and real movie-clips: WoW dance mix on Youtube
For a compilation of all the playable classes, plus races like ogres, go to Wow dances (strangely excluding dwarves)
Notes
- The [Piccolo of the Flaming Fire] and [Party Totem] toys force the user and all nearby friendly players to dance.
- The dance studio was an announced feature for Wrath of the Lich King that would've allowed players to customize their character's dance animation, but the feature was never implemented.

Wow, You Can Really Dance – Meaning, Origin and Usage
If you are someone that spends a lot of time on TikTok, you likely have heard the audio “wow, you can really dance” at least once. As the phrase itself would imply, it is typically used over videos of people dancing.
Whether they are actually good at dancing or not, this phrase is still often used regardless. But what does this phrase actually mean?
This post unpacks the meaning and origin of this expression.
Meaning
The phrase “wow, you can really dance” refers to a TikTok trend where users have created a series of videos with the lyrics “wow, you can really dance” over it. It can also be used to refer to other dance trends on the popular social media platform.
Often people will refer to the song that this phrase comes from by the phrase itself rather than the actual title of the song (Coincidence by a YouTube channel called Handsome Dancer).
The phrase in itself is self-explanatory, it is used to express awe and appreciation of a persons dancing ability. This phrase may be used more literally to comment on someone’s dance moves that you genuinely think are good, though this is not used as often as it is to refer to the TikTok trend. More information can be found in the video (here).
Example Usage
“Come check out this dance! Wow, you can really dance.”
“Look at this person’s moves! Wow, you can really dance.”
“Wow, you can really dance, I thought you were kidding when you said you had moves”.
“Look at this new dance trend on TikTok! Wow, you can really dance.”
“Come look at the Coincidance music video. Wow, you can really dance.”
Origin
The phrase “wow, you can really dance” was heard for the first time in a music video released to YouTube in 2015. It was uploaded by the channel Handsome Dancer, while the video was directed and written by James Manzello. The song that this phrase came from was titled Coindicance, and in the video, two men bring peace to the world through the power of dancing.
The popularity of this phrase skyrocketed in 2019, which is when a large amount of TikTok users began creating videos using the audio. To date, there are thousands of videos on the app that have used this sound. Some of these videos included tutorials for how to do the dance that is seen in the original Coincidance video. “Wow, you can really dance” quickly took over other social media sites such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, with #wowyoucanreallydance becoming popular. It can also be seen in a number of videos that have been uploaded to YouTube.

What is the Correct Saying?
Ways People May Incorrectly Say Wow, You Can Really Dance
The phrase “wow, you can really dance” refers to the dance trend on TikTok, or can be used more literally to tell someone that they are actually good at dancing. Attempting to use the phrase in any context other than these would be incorrect. Some ways that “wow, you can really dance” is used incorrectly are:

Handsome Dancer – Coincidance lyrics
Handsome Dancer – Coincidance – lyrics A master of romance
He loved the damsel in distress
But not as much as dance
And then one day it happened
They went off to the world
They went on to a journey
Idolized by the boys and girls
They learned so many lessons
In all the foreign lands
But no matter where they wound up
They never stopped the dance
One day inside the station
In Amsterdam perchance
The man were standing side by side
By the man with the crooked glance
Then turned to face each other
It was just chance
That these two men would meet that day
And do that faithful dance
Wow, you can really dance all this time
What a coincidance!
And then they danced together
Like no one’s danced before
The diplomats were dancing
Then cancelled all the wars (no more)
The whole world celebrations
With no more violence
And all because these men crossed path
What a coincidance!
Dance-dance-dance-dance
Dance-dance-dance-dance
Da-da…
Let’s dance

Handsome Dancer – Coincidance – lyrics
The name of the first person was Kiki.
He wore such small pants.
His brother was a champion.
But Kiki loved to dance.
The second person was choo-choo.
Master of romance.
He loved a girl in distress.
But not so much as a dance.
And then one day it happened. nine0013 They have gone into the world.
They went on a journey.
Boys and girls worship.
They learned so many lessons.
In all foreign lands.
But it doesn't matter where they end up.
They never stopped dancing.
Once upon a time at the station …
In an Amsterdam performance.
The man was standing side by side.
A man with a crooked look.
Then they turned to face each other.
It was just happiness.
That these two will meet that day.
And perform this faithful dance. nine0013 Wow, you really can dance.
Wow, you can really dance.
He left.
He left.
They said, “We were both dancing all this time.
What a coincidence!
And then they danced together.
As if no one had danced before.
Diplomats danced.
Then canceled all wars (no more).
The whole world was celebrating.
No more violence.
And all because these people crossed the path.
What a coincidence!

Yes, yes...
Let's dance!
