Who's the better dancer?

OK, I assume we're all aware that your PC can dance for humanity points. The explanations for why that is true are many and varied.

My Q is this: In my humble opinion, the PC in VTMB is the most kick- *ahem* heinie dancer of everybody in LA (the game LA, not necessarily the real LA). Does everybody else have the same opinion? If not, then which character do you consider to be the better dancer?

I ask this because the fourth black person I met in my life gave me the most invaluable advice: "When you're dancing, the more you feel like an idiot, the better you're dancing." Since that time, my opinion of what constitutes "good dancing" has been modified considerably. Michael Jackson in "Thriller"? Stilted, contrived, and annoying. The "Harajuku Girls" that back up Gwen Stefani? ****SLAMMIN!****

Babygirl indeed! Yes, you can. Approach the dance floor until the dance icon shows up (in the center of the dance floor). If you want the best experience, put yourself in third-person view, and press E (or the action key on your system). You have to dance for several minutes to get a single point, but pretty much everybody dances in a circle around you. In my humble opinion, most of them suck. OTOH, it is a very enlightening and non-horrifying feature of the game.

Dunno about that being non-horrifying, I find it rather freaky when the other dancers circle all around you.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I think any healthy adult male, presented with a nearly undressed woman of VV's healthy attributes, would be of the same opinion.

i knew about the dancing but never realised it gave you humanity lol. my vamp is a terrible dancer though lol and it is scary the way everyone surrounds you, especially when you have to wait ages for them to move out the way before you can go anywhere afterwards lol

Best dancer huh......?
Though I wasn't aware that you could get humanity points for dancing,
I usually put my caracters to dance a little in every club. (I like to look at their faces for once)
In my opinion, male vampires look like happy monkeys dancing.
For some odd reason (very, very odd) female vampires look better
(though essentially its the same movements for all vamps)

One comment in a game review was that all the characters (male & female), when running, basically move in a rather feminine way. The same could be true for the dancing. Maybe they modeled the movement for the female characters and then applied it without adaptation to the male ones.

The Way They Move

That does seem to be that way.
I guess that's why female vampires would look a little better than males do.

It is very interesting how character movements loop or they are duplicated in every place.
Another interesting aspect is that during the clip scenes, characters tend to move in a very awkward manner.
I guess that is again tied to "not perfecting/polishing" the original movements.
