I NEED ANSWERS BIOWARE! I WANT MY SHUFFLE BACK FOR ANDROMEDA

I NEED THIS. MAKE IT HAPPEN BIOWARE. (Also need Joker or someone with Joker's humour to laugh uncontrollably at Shepard's dancing skills)
We are not playing as Shepard, so I imagine the new person will have their own dance.
What BioWare should do is look at some of the dance moves from Destiny. Specifically, the female hunter class.
No.
Honestly, the gag got really stale REALLY fast for me. Particularly considering that 1) I don't put my Shepards on the dance floor, so why are all these people laughing at their dancing when they DON'T, 2) personally, I get a little self-conscious about it, and it bugs me that they DO make it this thing that the people closest to Shepard are making fun of them for this, no matter the why of it, and 3) GARRUS VAKARIAN YOU ARE DOING THE SAME DAMN DANCE WHILE COMMENTING ABOUT IT YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK.
*ahem*
Yeah, let's leave the gags about Shepard to Shepard. If the new PC gets the option to dance, let's NOT have them doing the same dance as Shepard. A character in the background, like Techno Turian on Thane's loyalty mission or something, sure. But let's just move on already.

This.
The joke was old and a little worn out by the time of the Citadel DLC. I wouldn't mind random NPCs having the same animation, but the protagonist shouldn't.
Sorry, I had to.
Lmao this is gold
Since we won't be playing Shepard I want my main char to dance like Fred Astaire.

"Dancing style" should be an option in the character creator.
Sure its nice to know about possible races, guns snd customization options but no one has asked the BIG QUESTION yet. Will the legacy continue!? When faced against Tango wielding Turians, Table dancing biotics, and hip shaking quarians will we still "Shuffle"!?

Hope they do bring it back. It was such a ridiculous dance. Would be cool if obtaining dance moves was a quest like the wine stuff in Inquisition.

Lets hope they also take a page out of Pirates and have dancing as a prerequisite for romance.
The dance of "The Shepard" is part of the ceremonies of the Church of The Shepard.
I think the player should actually be a skilled dancer and can charm people with their serpentine maneuvers.
They then encounter someone who is horrible at dancing, only capable of the archaic 'Shepard Shuffle' and can offer to teach them to dance better to impress someon they like or can charge them credits for lessons.
Doing 'the Shepard' was enduring to Shepard. It was a nice little quirk of Shepard's story. Can save the galaxy but couldn't dance to save their life. If they did this again it wouldn't work.
But the idea that your dance moves should be a option in the character creator is absurd. Animations are expensive and frankly the more options we demand in a game the less substantive content we have because budgets are finite. People complain that the story for the companions and advisors in DA:I were so shallow but they fail to realise why. There were 12 companions/advisors in DA:I and that is far too many to have any substantive content about them. It all gets hurried and condensed so that Cassandra has a crisis of faith that last one dialogue. The Iron Bull has a crisis philosophy and poof resolved in one dialogue. Cullen goes through withdrawal and poof its over. All shallow and pointless exercises because players demanded more choice in companions and got it but the depth of the companions suffered. Its a very simple to get a visual representation. Take 100 pennies put them into 5 piles you get a very deep pile of pennies now take those same pennies and make 10 or 12 piles and you get far shallower piles. Same amount of content its still 100 pennies but each individual pile is shallow. The myriad of companions only worked in ME2 because the main story was the individual companion arcs. ME2 was an 'assemble the team and train them' 80's movie montage stretched into an entire game. Not something that would work in most situations.
Choice isn't the holy grail players make it out to be, it is a justification for them to demand what they want and frankly its all part of the entitlement culture that gamers have. Fewer choices that create a deeper experience is better than lots and lots of choice that are shallow and pointless.

Choice is an illusion anyway.

Most games tell a linear story, they can't allow the player to deviate from the path. Some games do it so well that you don't notice, some others don't. DA:I was an example for the latter.
The running gag in Mass Effect was Shepard couldn't dance. I don't want our new protagonist to have similar gags that Shepard has, let's give him/her something new to make a joke out of.

I liked the running jokes in KotOR2 with Atton. Each time they went somewhere, they were locked up in cells. Each time he piloted a shuttle, it crashed. ^^
Maybe the protagonist can take some tips from the Inquisitior? The Inquisitior we can see is a good dancer during the ball scene in Inquisition. Although I'll miss the Shepard shuffle.
