League of Legends is a competitive online game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. One of the most popular features of the game is its dance emotes.

What do League of Legends Champions Do when They Dance?

When you dance in League of Legends, it means that you are confident in your abilities and that you think you can win the match. It is also a way to have fun and show your personality.

That's it. There are two ways you can dance in League of Legends. You can either directly issue the command via the chat with "/d" or "/dance." Or, alternatively, you can bind it to a keypress or mouse button press.
