One of the challenges of making Machinima using World of Warcraft is the limited number of emotes for the machinimist to work with. So attempting to recreate a dance that is not part of the character's repertoire is an exceptional feat. And this video pulled it off brilliantly.
For those of you not familiar with the Paso Doble, it is a Latin dance of power, passion and precision. Check out the 2005 IDSF Grand Slam FInalists performing the dance. Now check out the video above and see how they cleverly mimicked the movements about 1:18 in.
What else is there to say other than: Ole!

Through the first half I was going - "yeah, but that's nothing like the real dance". Then some of the posed shots really did capture movements akin to the real thing and impressed me. All in all, it was really fun to watch - maybe not accurate, but well choreographed and a good telling of a fun little story/dance without any dialogue.
