Whether you’re a do-si-do (everyone but Spy) or a do-si-don’t (Spy), you’re sure to love this old-timey barn dance (unless you’re Spy).
"Love and War Day 1 Preview - Swing your partner ’round and ’round! Take heavy fire and collapse to the ground!"

The Square Dance is an Action taunt for all classes. It can also be executed with enemy players.

Once started, the player begins dancing in place in a ready position as a fiddle plays the opening bars on a loop or holds a sustained note. When another player (ally or enemy) taunts in front of them, the two will link arms and perform a square dance accompanied by the fiddle playing a reel. Taunting again or jumping before another player accepts will end the taunt.

For the voice lines spoken by each class, please refer to the respective class taunt pages.
