Discussion on question by donotexecuteorder66: How do I tell our HR that I don't want to "perform" in our Christmas party?

@donotexecuteorder66 Can you be sure that your seniors actually did the dance? This sounds like a wind-up to me, a joke played on new hires, or possibly just on you. Maybe your boss fell for it once and hopes you will too. It would be a good idea to contact HR to ask, they should be able to tell you if it really is a company policy - unless your HR contact is in on it.

Can we just stop saying "I am an introvert" as a universal excuse for "I don't want to do something"? Just stick to why this actually bothers you, not rely on vague definition of the unreliable term.
