Kavren, have you ever played EQ1 before? If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are just seeing the normal animations that the NPCs are programed to do. Maybe you are used to some of the newer games that have NPCs that will actually turn their head and look at you as you walk by or stand near them. The animations in EQ are not that complex. NPCs in EQ are set to do particular animation sequences while just "standing still". Normally, you will see them breathing and every few seconds they will do some kind of look around or stance change or any other random movement they are set to do. That is something programed into the client and we have no control over it. I am guessing the dance you are talking about is just one of their random animations. Each race has their own set of possible animations that they can do.

If you hail an NPC, it should turn to face you, but it isn't going to look at your face, just in your general direction.

If your issue is something other than this, then maybe you are having some other issue.
