Kids are paying for ‘Fortnite’ dance lessons
David Lloyd Clubs
-
“Fortnite” is a wildly popular game, and its impact has
been steadily bleeding into mainstream culture. -
The latest example of that impact is a dance class
being offered by one UK fitness chain that aims to teach kids
and teens the dance moves from “Fortnite.” -
The class, named “Emote Royale,” is a logical extension
of the already very popular dance “emotes” from the
game.
Dance moves like “the worm” and “the robot” have existed for
years, but the explosively popular game “Fortnite” thrust them
back to the forefront of popular culture.
Sports players are dropping “Fortnite” dance moves after major
plays, and kids are flossing left and right. So, so much
flossing.
But what if you’re a young dance lover with no moves, looking for
guidance? Look no further than “Emote Royale,” a dance class
offered by David Lloyd Clubs — a chain of fitness clubs in the
UK.
The class promises to teach a dozen different emotes, and to
integrate them into a “Fortnite”-themed workout.
“Once each move has been perfected, the class performs a routine
of all 12 moves together and even warms down with dances from the
game such as the slowed down version of ‘the eagle’ and the
‘storm salutation,'” a press release from David Lloyd Clubs
explains.
The classes are included in the “DL Kids” program as part of a
membership to the clubs, which starts at £55 ($71) per
month.

They’re being sold as a means of promoting activity in kids —
kids who might otherwise be sitting on a couch playing
“Fortnite.” Not a bad idea!
