Allied races[]

As the allied races use the framework of other core races, the Dark Iron dwarves, Mag'har orcs, Highmountain tauren, nightborne, void elves, and Lightforged draenei share the dances of the races they are based on. In the case of the Mechagnomes and vulpera, they take inspiration from the same sources; with the Mechagnome dances being flipped by gender, while the vulpera are different sections of the same dance.
