“A slow, shy shimmy for the battlefield.”
Dance Monkey is an Icon Series emote in Fortnite Battle Royale, available in the Item Shop for 300 V-Bucks. It launched in Chapter 3 Season 1.
Featuring interactive moves like waving and grooving, it loops a snippet of the chorus from "Dance Monkey" by Tones and I. Perfect for syncing up with squadmates anytime.
Emotes have evolved since Fortnite's early days. Epic Games boosted creativity with the Boogie Down contest, where player-submitted dances made it into the game.

This premium Icon Series emote equips to any skin, ready to trigger at will. It's purely visual flair, delivering rhythmic fun without gameplay impact.
