There already is. Male Night Elf dance.
Although, if dancing was ever able to be "re-trained" it would be nice to see some variation of him being a tutor-type thing.

yeah that would be best. they should make him a Dance Trainer in Dalaran and teach certain dances and some new ones too if they ever make new dances

but what innocent man would pay 20million to shut the family up?

Keep him out of the game full stop...
I know alot of people believe he was innocent of those accusations but what innocent man would pay 20million to shut the family up?
A man who's smart enough to realize a drawn-out legal battle would cost him more than 20 million dollars. It's called economics.
Did he do it? I don't know. I quite frankly don't give a damn. He was king of the world for a time. I believe he deserves to be honored in-game, and the dance trainer suggested above is a great idea.

He already is present in 50% of all night elves.
Everybody thinks of MJ when they see the dance.

He could be a Blood Elf tagged as a Night Elf.

Um, guys .... he was a performer. That's all. How about a little bit of perspective. He danced, he sung, he didn't cure cancer or discover the Northwest Passage, or end world hunger.
He made a lot of money because our society overvalues entertainment and pays too much for it. Now he's gone, and other people will dance and sing, and charge too much for it.

Fixed. He didn't become the most popular man in the world because he could sing and dance. He became the most popular man in the world because he could sing and dance like no one else before (and probably after) him. Infant Zulu boys knew his name. He has sales records that will never fall. Feel free to quote me on that.
Should WoW devs honor him in-game? Why not?

Walter Conkrite died. He was a bigger influence than MJ. But did he get 3 weeks of media hype? Nope.
The voice of the nation. They had a special on him running a few days ago.

He also gave 500 million to charities,
and
more than any other entertainer ever and helped break racial barriers in a time where racism was super prominent. So apparently only saving lives is worthy of earning recognition and only if you study medicine you should be remembered. While I think it would be stupid for Blizz to make a tribute to Michael Jackson (we don't even know if he played the game) to say he was just a singer and dancer
is
just shows ignorance and lack of appreciation for the art forms. Tell me what is the reason in curing cancer if people don't have reasons to live? Music, Art, Literature make life worth living and Michael Jackson was an icon in his given field, so brilliant the entire world held him in distinction at a point.
You clearly have not heard of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs; google it. Art has it's place, but only after all preceeding needs have been met.
I fail to see how Micheal Jackson has advanced human civilization; he was not exactly Vermeer, VanGogh, Tchaikovsky, Ghandi, Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela. Many many other people have made a greater difference to the lives of others and to advancing the cause of racial peace and integration.
But Americans are celebrity obessessed, so I can understand the fawning.
