‘Nothing gets you down.’
Frolic is an Icon Series emote in Fortnite Battle Royale, priced at 500 V-Bucks in the Item Shop. It launched in Chapter 3 Season 1, with interactive moves like waving and dancing that sync with others.
The choreography comes from noumoe913 on Twitter (aka "Leek Dance Farm Girl"), from their July 20, 2011, Niconico Douga video titled 'Ievan Polkka'—a spin on the viral "Leekspin" meme.
Emotes began simply in Fortnite's early days but grew through community events like the Boogie Down contest, where player-submitted dances earned in-game spots.
This premium Icon Series emote loops a chorus snippet. Fan-favorite cosmetics like these span dances, taunts, and seasonal themes in Battle Royale and Save the World.
Purely cosmetic, Frolic enhances your style with engaging music and animations, no gameplay effects.
Fortnite boasts hundreds of emotes. Buy Frolic, equip it to any skin, and dance whenever the mood strikes.
