If I'm correct, that's what the female Assassin dance is. That's what it looks like to me.
Posting this 'cause I've seen people saying it's a dance from.. Superstar?.. that SNL-inspired movie.
Anyone believe otherwise?

There's a movie that features this style. "Only the Strong" was made mid 90's i believe. wasn't terrible. Check it out.

the first part of the female dance resembles dutch and belgian "hak" alot...if you place 2 females opposite of each other they do a dance really similar to what we made in school

I thought all the dances originated from some movie/video/play etc, it seems to be a theme the devs like to use.
Female Necro - Thriller music video
Male and Female Warrior - Pulp Fiction?
Male Ritualist - Napoleon Dynamite
Male Ele - the "Elaine" dance from Seinfeld
Mesmers - Riverdance
Can anyone think of any others?

Male Warrior - Saturday Night Fever (I think)

Necro Dance: Looks like some thing you would find the host or guest from "headbangers ball" doing, mixed with a little Tom Cruise jumping at the end.
Loralai
Guildies and I remember something from Shrek (gingerbread? can't remember) doing almost exactly the same dance as the female assassin.
trevok
Female assasin dance isn't skanking. Maybe for like 1 second it vaguely resembles it, but definitely not that.
Falcon213
Male warrior is taken from both Saturday Night Fever and Pulp Fiction.
Also the mesmers aren't quite riverdancing.. but I'm guessing that's what the devs intended.

I've figured out what the male Assassin dance is from, obviously it's the robot, but if I remember right it's done exactly how one of the main characters in the movie "Euro Trip" did it.
Shattered Self
Monks do a weird blend of tai chi and capoeira.
If you want to see something really crazy, get a male monk to /flex.

Male monks is Tai Chi mixed with some weird spinning thats really out of place.
Female monks is "chung quan" or Northen Fist - a form of morden Wu shu

Thost silly dance moves have nothing to do with the Capoeira (which resembles the basics of a fighting style, not spastic movements
).

Male Ranger's dance is Rerun's dance from "What's Happening?"
Male Assasin's dance is Lamar's dance from "The Revenge of the Nerds"

It also appears to mimic Michael Jackson from Moonwalker...

well im sure one of the two males does a dance that is ether janet jackson doing the vid from rythum (feck it, i cant spell it) nation, or its a realy old 5Star song called system addict (least, tats what i think of when i see it....i thougt of jakko, but theres no crotch grabbing, so its ether him with it deleated, or one of the other two ^^)
oh, and female eles dont bellydance, they do the hawayan welcom dance..watch their hands, they do more than just shimmy their boobs...
i would say the ranger girls are pole dancing, but with the pole taken out

lol I've been trying to figure out what all the dances are from, as well. And it seems all these dances are derived from someone else from movies or music.
We all know the obvious ones like:
Female Warrior: Pulp Fiction = Uma Thurman
Male Warrior: Pulp Fiction = John Travolta
Male Ele: Seinfield = Elaine
Male Rit: Napeolon Dynamite
Female Necro: Thriller = Michael Jackson
Mesmer Male and Female = River dance
But I'm pretty sure they are copying someone fictional or real.
For instance I figured out that the female Ele is infact a dance by Shakira from one of her singles on her spanish albums.
Dont believe me look up a video for "ojos asi" or just plain google "shairka + belly dancing"
Now another one...I'm not quite sure if its right but I have a hunch that it could be a possibilty that the Female Rit dance is from Beyonce's music video of "Baby Boy." I could be wrong but most of the moves are almost identical.
and someone has mention earlier that
Male Ranger= Rerun's dance (Break-dancing)= What's Happening?
and
Male Assassin = Lamar's dance (The robot)= Revenge of the Nerds
As for the others such as:
Female Ranger = We can only conclude that its a pole dance
Monk Male and Female: Some kind of yoga crossed with martial arts training
Male Necro = Headbanging
and the assassin female is still up for questioning..
*Edit/ :Anyone else find something else as to what those last dances are by?

I dunno bout the female Ranger, I always thought it was some kind of Britney Spears shtick.
As far as the female assassin goes, first time my wife and I saw it, we swore it was some kind of aerobics workout/dance from the 80's... the flips at the end make me want to say something in the area of a gymnastic dance of some kind.

Nope. Capo Eira is a break-dance like fighting style. Most recognizably used by Eddy in Tekken.
Rex the Unloving
the female assassins dance originated from the show "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".... jk but it seems like someone would do that dance on the show, right?
Malakai1977
capoeira is a fighting style disguised as a dance. south american slaves used this dance to practice their fighting style right under the eyes of their masters, because they werent allowed to train to fight.
female monks do a Kata, which is a simulated fight against imaginairy opponents. nowadays they even do it at martial arts tournaments accompagnied with music . just like dancing:-)
edit: capoera is a noncontact sport btw:-)

I am 100% sure the female monks does changquan since I was taught this in the Wu Shu marital art school i went to (where i also learned some Tai Chi which is one the male monk's dance is). see here for description of changquan.
