Moving Your Legs

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and bend both of your knees. Sway your legs to the right as if someone is kicking your knees from the left side. Keep your right knee forward, and let your left knee and hips tilt in the right direction. [1]
    • When you sway your legs to the right, your left heel may lift off the ground. You can do the orange justice by lifting one heel off the ground, or lifting both heels off the ground.
  2. Once you sway your legs to the right, try doing it in the other direction. Keep your knees bent and imagine that someone is kicking your knees from the right side. As you shift your weight, keep your left knee forward and let your right knee and hips turn toward the left side. [2]
    • When you shift your weight to the left, your right heel may naturally come off the ground. Feel free to keep one heel lifted, or lift both heels off the ground and carry your weight on your toes.

  3. If you can sway your legs to the left and to the right, the next step is to sway your legs from side to side in a seamless movement. Practice the leg movements for a few minutes, or until you feel comfortable rocking side to side. [3]
    • Remember to sway side to side using your knees and hips, instead of moving your feet.
    • If you feel awkward swaying from side to side, try doing the twist , or swinging your hips and knees in the same direction. This can warm up your body and help you dance more effortlessly. [4]

  1. Make an “X” shape with your arms by putting your right arm on top of your left. Flatten both of your palms and have them face your body. [5]
    • It doesn’t matter which side you sway your hips to first when you add the arm movements!
  2. As you sway to the other side, straighten your arms, placing your left arm on the left side of your body and your right arm on your right side. Flatten your palms and have them facing your body, or fist both of your hands. [6]
  3. As you sway to the other side, stretch your arms up and to the side. Your arms should be in a relaxed shrug, or “I don’t know” gesture. [7]
  4. When you sway to the other side, keep your arms parallel, putting your right arm on your right side and your left arm on your left side. Position your palms so they face inward, or keep them in fists. [8]
  5. Raise your arms in front of your face and clap above your head. You should make a triangle with your arms with your head in the middle. [9]

      About This Article

      Article Summary X

      The Orange Justice dance is one of the most popular Fortnite dances. Start by standing with your feet shoulder width apart. Then, sway your hips side to side. As you sway, bend your left knee in towards your right knee so your legs are making a "C" shape. For example, when you sway your hips to the right, your left knee should collapse in towards your right knee. Then, reverse in the other direction. Once you've gotten the legs down, add the arm movements. Start with your arms hanging by your side. Then, lightly cross your arms at the elbow. As you sway, pull your arms out to either side of your body. Twist your arms at the elbow so your palms are facing up, as if you're making an "I don't know" gesture. Finally, let your arms drop at the elbow so your biceps are parallel to the ground and your hands are hanging down. To nail the dance, combine your swaying with the arm movements and have fun!
