What does Disturbing Dance do?

The Disturbing Dance is primarily a fun emote. After learning it, hold the Sidearm-switch button and use the face buttons to perform different dance moves. Some NPCs also react to the dance, and certain interactions in the game require it.

The Traumatized feat is earned automatically once you’ve completed the entire Poppit merchant questline and witnessed Grinnsly’s infamous dance performance. The same event rewards the Disturbing Dance ability, making it one of Mina the Hollower’s most memorable hidden side quests.
