Do you wanna bust out some sick moves after scoring a Victory Royale in Fortnite? Who doesn’t?
In Fortnite, emotes and dances are cosmetic items that players can purchase mainly through V-Bucks, but can also be obtained by unlocking them in Battle Passes, or through the multitude of in-game and real-life game promotions.
These items enable the player to perform a short action, such as dances, which involves the player’s character moving to act it out. Emotes and dances were first introduced in Save the World back on July 25, 2017, but were greatly expanded upon with the release of Battle Royale.
Over the years, Epic Games has added a multitude of different dances and TikTok emotes, some moves being original and created by the game while others are mostly dances that have gone viral through various social media platforms such as TikTok.
If you’re having a tough time keeping up with all of them, here is a list of all the dances and TikTok emotes in Fortnite, below.

As you can see from the list above, Epic Games has made sure to incorporate all sorts of popular media and artists into itsTikTok emotes and dances. Even though today, the company legally incorporates all of this licensed and copyrighted material into Fortnite, this wasn’t the case since the start.
There was a period of time where Epic tread on the very thin line of getting sued for stealing original content, such as when The Floss and The Carlton were incorporated into the game, which led to the company going through a ton of legal issues, being sued by the original creators.
Most of the time, however, when dancers claimed ownership of the moves, the cases were eventually withdrawn when the U.S. Copyright Office denied copyrights, and there were even a few times when Epic Games won the lawsuits.
Those days are in the past though, as Epic Games now includes attribution, citing its creator in the emote’s details, which suggests that there has probably been a deal made with the original dancer or singer, to properly compensate the original artist and keep Epic out of the courtroom.
