OK...running through Night of the Comet on my new characters for the Ophidian Cane.... picking up my nerve tonics along the way.
And....well...it is pretty easy to see that the animation for the Nerve Tonic Dance is definitely wrong. LOL! I am getting mostly coughing animation...a few dances a la Disco Ball. But that hip grinding one is gone.

TRIBBLE MAINTENANCE AND RELEASE NOTES - JUNE 21, 2016
This change is the source of many animation problems that remain unfixed to this day.
One of the broken animations was the nerve tonic dance. Originally, the dance kept getting interrupted by the character saluting again and again. They fixed the saluting problem, but the "fix" introduced another problem: The second part of the dance is missing. I explained all of this shortly after the "fix" appeared on Tribble.

As far as I can tell, nothing has changed since I wrote that post. The second part of the dance is still missing. You can see what the dance used to look like in old YouTube videos.

The second video above was uploaded a day before the new animation system appeared on Tribble.

The icons used for the Nerve Tonic in Inventory are of other food items in the game...you have to hoover your mouse over them to see what they actually are or you may end up deleting them as loot for the vendor.

I realized that you're probably testing this on a male character. If I remember correctly, males and females have difference dances. That doesn't change the fact that the second part of the female nerve tonic dance is still missing. As for the different types of nerve tonics and their associated animations, I documented that in this post:

It might have been an intended change, but it was never mentioned in the patch notes. My post is probably the only place you'll find it documented.
at least last I checked the dance (called "Dance:Seductive") is avaible in the foundry at least partly if not in full, so it's not been removed of the animation database even if it's unaccessble in Holodeck and yes it is different depending on gender (the special dance is avaible only for females, males use the "club" dance if told to use the "seductive" dance.
Is this seductive dance in the Foundry the full dance, or is it the same broken, partial dance we see with nerve tonics?
Will this put me in the mirror universe?

I don't know why they don't just add the dance to the emotes list, that'd make more sense!
