The Fortnite default dance is a dance popularised by the video game Fortnite.

The emote is given this name as it's the first emote everyone has, and is typically used by players who don't spend money on Fortnite. These people are typically called "Defaults" or "Default skin" by the Fortnite community.

It's become an iconic staple of Fortnite since the free battle royale mode rose to mainstream popularity.

Contrary to its name, the fortnite default dance is not originally from Fortnite:
