Whether you’re a do-si-do (everyone but Spy) or a do-si-don’t (Spy), you’re sure to love this old-timey barn dance (unless you’re Spy).
Square Dance publicity blurb

The Square Dance is a special taunt for all classes.

Once started, the player begins dancing in place in a ready position as a fiddle plays the opening bars on a loop or holds a sustained note. When another player, regardless of team or if they own the taunt (including bots), taunts in front of them, the two link arms and perform a square dance accompanied by the fiddle playing a reel. Taunting again or jumping before another player accepts ends the taunt.

For the voice lines of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts pages.
