To perform a dance, choose the dance icon under the actions button or hit the key "d" on the keyboard.

You can also tell a joke by pressing the "j" key. If you wait three seconds, the answer to your joke will appear. Jokes usually have something to do with ongoing parties or events.

#### Puffles

* The Red Puffle jumps.
* The Green Puffle flies.
* The Black Puffle checks the penguin during 0.3 seconds, then spins like a tornado.

#### Items

Main article: Special Dances
When you wear certain outfits, you can do certain actions when you dance.

### Breakdancing

Breakdancing came out during the Dance-A-Thon Party, and when penguins acquired the Boombox, and danced with it with nothing else on, the penguin would start to breakdance. It would usually do acrobatic moves such as a spin on the floor and jump up. Cadence is the only penguin that can breakdance with clothes on; this means that she can breakdance with her wig, bangles, and shoes.

### Throwing snowballs

Main article: Snowball
In *Club Penguin*, you can throw snowballs. These are usually used in wars or when a penguin is annoyed or mad at someone. If you want to throw a snowball, click on an icon on the toolbar to the right of the chat line. It will have a white circle on it. After you click on something with the target, you throw the snowball. In the Water Parties, snowballs were replaced by water balloons. You can also throw a snowball by pressing "t" on your keyboard and clicking. Snowballs are often thrown at penguins or items to gesture or point towards them.

The Snow Forts was designed to hold snowball fights. Also, if you throw snowballs at the target at the Clock Tower, the target will spin. According to the Penguin Times, doing this helps the clock move.

### Waving

To perform this action, press "W" on your keyboard, or click the waving penguin icon on your tool bar. It is the third icon from the left. Choose the second action and your penguin will wave.

### Sitting

If you press the "S" key, or click on one of the sitting pictures on your toolbar, your penguin will sit. If you press "S" and your mouse is on the game screen, then your penguin will sit to the direction where your mouse is. If you hold "S" and make your mouse move around your penguin the penguin will spin while sitting.

## Trivia

* Penguin transformations have special dances.
* According to The Journal of Captain Rockhopper, Rockhopper invented the jig of the Dance action.
* The dance action in the Club Penguin App is slightly different from the computer action.
