So You Think You Can Dance?


Rules Questions


My upcoming APG centaur needs to take dance for some definitely-not-powergaming I'm doing.

The problem?

How do I dance this horse?

And don't send me videos of horses doing that stupid shuffling thing from YouTube.

Perhaps focus on arm motions. Are you going to be male or female? Different sexes seem to have different types of dancing.

Tapdancing?

Silver Crusade

Dressage is how horses dance but I assume that's the "stupid shuffling thing" that you referred to.


When it comes to centaurs, it's centered on everything they do anyways. All upper body stuff. Arm movements, head tilts, anything that has to do with the hands moving over the face, take your pick. Disco is a safe bet.


LOL neither female nor into Disco.

Ubral: That's a thought I had too, Riverdance maybe.

Other ideas?


I'm pretty sure I've seen animated horses dance with their legs like humans do in some Disney-esque movie. So I guess it depends on how realistic you want your horse-man in fantasy land to dance.

[faux authoritative answer]

Centaurs do not dance individually. Instead Centaur dances involve an entire herd moving together over a massive plain, galloping as one, leaping over each other, executing perfectly timed reverses and turns, accompanied by musical insturments carried and played by their human halves. Centaur Dances would look to a modern audience more like an impossibly fast marching band drill than anything less. (Assuming the viewer had a high enough vantage to see the entire shape of the dance and not be trampled. To a ground bound observer, it would look more like a terrifying, but musical, stampede.)

Does that help?

...It's a Disney movie.

Shadow Lodge

Make the centaur handstand and do crazy tricks by pumping his arms. Or you could have him use his upper body to do the robot. Or This.


Can a centaur do the worm?


Just have him kick...

Everything and everybody around him.

Lantern Lodge

Imagine a pole dancer... who is a centaur... Like in the movie, 21
