— In-game description

How to Dance, Volume 1 is a gizmo purchased from the Gem Store that gives access to three dances when used. Players can follow a lead dancer and do the same dance. If the leader stops or changes dances, so does the player. This involves the effect Invitation to Dance. Using How to Dance, Volume 1 permanently unlocks the dance moves as player emotes. They can be used with the slash commands /step, /geargrind, and /shuffle.
