Let me explain how to dance in League of Legends and share all your options for champion emotes.
You can make your champion dance in two simple ways.
The first method uses keyboard shortcuts. Press CTRL + 3 during any game to make your champion dance.
This works with all champions and their skins. The dance animation will play until you move your champion or use another command.
The second method uses chat commands. Type "/dance" or "/d" in the chat box and press Enter.
Your champion will start dancing immediately. This method takes longer than the keyboard shortcut but works just as well.
Every champion has their own unique dance animation. Some champions reference popular dances while others perform original moves. These dances stay visible to all players who can see your champion on the map.
You can use other emotes too.
Press CTRL + 1 for jokes, CTRL + 2 for taunts, and CTRL + 4 for laughs. You can also type "/joke", "/taunt", or "/laugh" in chat.
Some champions like Heimerdinger have special toggle emotes with CTRL + 5.
I find dance emotes useful for celebrating wins, having fun with teammates, or passing time while waiting in bushes.
They add personality to each champion without affecting gameplay.
Remember that dancing stops when you move or use abilities.
Some players use this to trick enemies by canceling dance animations into quick attacks. This creates surprise opportunities in casual games.
The best part about dances? They work with all skins, and many skins have their own special dance animations.
Try your favorite champion's different skins to see unique dances.
