Man Dancing Emoji
Meaning
A man dancing, added in 2016 as a gender pair for the already-available 💃 Woman Dancing emoji. Often shown in a retro 70s-era disco-inspired outfit with one arm raised in a disco-dancing style.
Clothing color varies by platform: Apple, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft depict colorful suits or jumpsuits, while Twitter/X and Huawei use darker formalwear with contrasting jackets or shirts.
Meanwhile, Facebook’s design wears a loose white shirt, fitted vest, and sash-like belt, more in keeping with the flamenco or Latin-style dance attire typically worn by 💃 Woman Dancing.
Samsung’s initial design for this emoji was a young white boy, similar in appearance to their first design for the 💃 Woman Dancing emoji, which was known simply as “Dancer” at the time.
