I admit, I was wondering about the unusual Draenei dance from the moment I saw it. Well, WorldofWar.Net seems to have found the dance's inspiration - in the form of this music video from India's music star Daler Mehndi. WorldofWar.Net warns that "the Mehndi video is crack," and, well I don't think I could explain it any better myself.

I'm not aware that Blizzard has ever come forth and pointed to the exact source of the dance annimations, but they all seem to take their inspiration from real people.
