Aura Dance Battles New Phonk + Emotes: Next Start Time & Countdown
New Phonk + Emotes is the weekly refresh that keeps the dance floor in Aura Dance Battles sounding and moving differently from one week to the next, folding in a new rotation of phonk tracks and fresh emotes for players to show off mid-battle. It is one of the busier dance experiences on Roblox, with about 6,000 players in a match right now and well over about 37,000,000 visits logged since launch.
This is not a one-off; it is a standing fixture. The developer rolls out a new batch each week, so there is always a next drop on the horizon rather than a single run that ends. The next one and the usual weekly time are on the card below, which also counts down to the moment it goes live.

How often New Phonk + Emotes runs
New Phonk + Emotes runs weekly, landing every Saturday at 12:30 PM ET. It uses a single fixed weekly slot rather than a string of staggered windows, so players everywhere catch it at the same instant — a moment that falls at very different local clock times around the world. Here is how that one weekly start converts across the major regions:
| Region | Local start time |
|---|---|
| US Eastern | 12:30 PM (Saturday) |
| US Pacific | 9:30 AM (Saturday) |
| UK | 5:30 PM (Saturday) |
| Central Europe | 6:30 PM (Saturday) |
| India | 10:00 PM (Saturday) |
| Japan | 1:30 AM (Sunday) |
| Eastern Australia | 3:30 AM (Sunday) |
The next run is set for Saturday, October 24 at 12:30 PM ET. That date is our best estimate from the weekly rhythm — the developer has held to it across 2 runs so far — and we confirm it once the next drop is posted.
What’s in each New Phonk + Emotes drop
Each refresh is built around the two things the name promises — new music and new moves:
- New phonk tracks — a set of fresh songs folded into the battle playlist, giving regulars something new to dance to instead of the previous week’s rotation.
- New emotes — additional dance moves and reactions to perform during rounds, which is the heart of how you score and stand out on the floor.
Because the lineup turns over every week, the appeal is less about any single reward and more about keeping the regular crowd engaged — there is always a reason to come back the following Saturday.
Tips for catching it
- The Saturday-afternoon ET slot is convenient across the Americas and most of Europe; players in Japan and Australia should plan for the early hours of Sunday.
- If the start time is awkward where you are, the new tracks and emotes stay in the game afterward, so you do not have to be online at the exact moment to use them.
- Miss it entirely? The next batch is only a week out — set a reminder for the following Saturday and you will not fall behind.
How it fits the game’s rhythm
New Phonk + Emotes is the steady heartbeat of the Aura Dance Battles schedule — a dependable weekly beat that runs alongside the game’s larger, limited-time additions. Features such as 2V2 Mode + More have come and gone as one-off updates, but the weekly phonk-and-emote refresh is the fixture players can count on returning no matter what else is happening.
