Caitlin Clark spotted rarely dancing with Fever buddy giving disapproving look

The Indiana Fever superstar loves to yell at WNBA refs. She doesn't like to dance, until now after their big playoff win vs. the Atlanta Dream.

Caitlin Clark is still wildly entertaining on the sidelines even though she's done for the season.

While we are sick of the Indiana Fever superstar always yelling at WNBA referees, the injured face of the league always brings it with her passion and legendary Michael Jordan-like competitiveness.

But dancing? No way. You wouldn't catch the Iowa Hawkeyes icon ever busting a move... until now.

Caught by a Caitlin Clark superfan detective in the Fever's do-or-die victory in Game 2 against the Atlanta Dream, 77-60, the two-time WNBA All-Star is euphoric and does the unthinkable. She moves her arms in the air like she just doesn't care.

Her fellow injured teammate Chloe Bibby, who has eerily subconsciously imitated Clark's movements on the bench in previous games, is not impressed. Like at all.

Let's zoom in for a closer look.

Even though Clark is the biggest name in basketball for the next generation, including the NBA, it's hilarious that she can still be served some humble pie by the 27-year-old Australian.

Sophie Cunningham, sitting to Clark's left, also done for the season like last year's Rookie of the Year, isn't phased at all.

It must kill Clark that she can't play in this year's WNBA playoffs, but at least she can still cut it loose, despite the evil glares from teammates.

UPDATE: Clark was busting some "Footloose" like moves pregame too. Again, much to the delight, and horror, of her teammates.
