What DinoDance means on Twitch — the animated dinosaur, a jam, and a victory wiggle.

What does DinoDance mean?

DinoDance Twitch emote

DinoDance is an animated pixel dinosaur dancing. A song hit, a run ended, a goal went in, chat wants to wiggle. It is the motion version of BOP. BOP is the drum. The dinosaur is the body. Because it moves, it carries a raid better than a still face.

Origin

One of the animated globals. The file is a gif, a little green-blue dinosaur, nothing ironic in the design. Twitch added dance emotes so chat could do the thing without a third-party overlay. catJAM is the third-party cousin. DinoDance renders for everyone.

When to use DinoDance

  • A song, a win, or the end of a long grind
  • Raid spam that should move
  • When catJAM would be perfect and half the room does not have the extension
  • Victory poses in games that do not deserve a solemn emote
